COVID-19 Advice

The government has removed remaining domestic COVID-19 restrictions in England. There are still steps you can take to reduce the risk of catching and spreading COVID-19:

Get vaccinated
Let fresh air in if meeting indoors, or meet outside
Consider wearing a face covering in crowded, enclosed spaces
Get tested if you have COVID-19 symptoms, and stay at home if positive
Wash your hands regularly and cover coughs and sneezes

Try to stay at home if you’re feeling unwell – Staying at home until you feel better reduces the risk that you will pass on an illness to your friends, colleagues, and others in your community. This will help reduce the burden on our health services.

If you are worried about going back to a more ‘normal’ life, there is information from the NHS on how to cope with anxiety about lockdown lifting.

Suspect you have COVID-19?

a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or three or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you’ve noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal

It is strongly advised that you stay at home and avoid contact with others if you have symptoms of COVID-19.
