If you are a patient with a gastrointestinal condition, there are a number of articles on COVID-19 from GUTS UK.

If you are a patient with IBD or Crohn’s Disease, you may find this guidance from Crohn’s and Colitis UK on self-isolation and social distancing, including an overview of risk categories useful.
