No, due to exchange on Friday. None of the solicitors have put a stop on it so far as I'm aware. My solicitor was intending to add carve-outs to the contracts in case we are not able to complete due to coronavirus (e.g. self-isolating or stricter government lockdown). Will have to ask them about any updates from the land registry.
It's a minimal chain. First-time buyer buying my place and we're due to move into an empty property owned by a developer with no further chain

Have you exchanged already?
In which case you should be fine to complete, subject to availability of removals.
If you haven’t exchanged yet, might be very difficult as land registry is effectively shut, and many solicitors have put a hold on approving exchanges and completions.
(Difficult to complete if vendor or buyer gets Covid, has to self isolate or becomes hospitalised)
As for your buyer, if you suspect that you have Covid, you should be self isolating even if it means completion is delayed.
Check with your solicitors as to their current views on exchanging.
