A trio of lifelong girlfriends in the UK has decided to ride out the coronavirus pandemic in isolation together — along with lots of wine and Netflix.

The elderly pals — Doreen Burns, Carol Spark and Dotty Robinson — were interviewed on “BBC Breakfast” Thursday to share details of their situation.

Burns, the unofficial spokeswoman of the troupe, explains to BBC host Jayne McCubbin in a video chat that they had already spent a week separate in their own homes, just to be sure each is “fit and well” before deciding whose house to live in.

“We’re in Carol’s at the moment,” Burns says, gesturing to her friend in the middle. “Dotty’s got a lovely, long back garden, which would be great for exercising.”

“Mine has as well,” Spark interjects, before clarifying that it’s more of a yard — a “yarden,” she says.

The three besties, obviously very comfortable with each other, admit that they might need a little space from time to time.

“I have got a front room, in case we get tetchy with each other,” says Burns. “That might be handy.”

There will be no shortage of British entertainment.

“I’ve got Netflix so we could watch ‘The Crown,’ ” says Burns, admitting that she might be the binge-watching “winner.”

But Spark, who apparently doesn’t find the show as gripping as her friend, interrupts that she might “fall asleep again” if she has to sit through another session with the tales of Queen Elizabeth.

Last, but certainly not least, Robinson pipes in to say that they also “have a supply of wine” on hand as the three women laugh.

That’s when McCubbin gives the isolation posse a good-natured ribbing: “Well, I’ve heard about the wine. I believe it’s the only thing you’ve been panic-buying!”

And with that, Spark and Robinson reach for a bottle of white and a glass from behind their computer screen, and raise a brief toast.

The trio’s cohabitating quarantine is well-timed, as doctors and public health experts are urging older adults, especially those aged 65 and over, to take extra precautions against the coronavirus disease. According to the World Health Organization, COVID-19, the virus that causes the illness, has already claimed the lives of more than 7,800 individuals, a vast majority of whom were elderly.

The Centers for Disease Control warns that senior citizens and people who have chronic illnesses are at a higher risk of complications due to COVID-19, and that those individuals should stay in touch with their physicians for possible additional steps to protect themselves.
