You should by now be aware that solo flight or flight with household members is currently permitted. Please see the guidance from the DfT:

With the poor winter weather and Stay at Home advice many will not have flown for a while. Extended breaks from flying do contribute to accidents and incidents, so do prepare properly and don't push your limits until you are ready. Have a look at the advice below from GASCo and the CAA's own checklist.
