The government has issued updated advice on social distancing to reduce the risk of transmission. Detailed advice is available at www.gov.uk
Of particular note are:
- Avoid contact with someone who is displaying symptoms of coronavirus
- Maintain a distance of at least one meter from other people, if you can reach out and touch them they might be too close
- Avoid non-essential use of public transport
- Work from home, where possible
- Avoid large gatherings, and gatherings in smaller public spaces such as pubs, cinemas, restaurants, theatres, bars and clubs
- Avoid gatherings with friends and family
- Use telephone or online services to contact your GP or other essential services
For those who are over 70, or have an underlying health condition, or who are pregant, we strongly advise that you follow the above measures as much as you can, and to significantly limit your face to face interactions with friends and family where possible.
