Advice for everyone-Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Stay Alert

We can all help control the virus if we all stay alert. This means you must:

Self-isolate if you or anyone in your household has symptoms.

There are things you can do to help reduce the risk of you and anyone you live with getting ill with coronavirus.

wash your hands with soap and water often – do this for at least 20 seconds
use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available
wash your hands as soon as you get back home
cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze
put used tissues in the bin immediately and wash your hands afterwards

To help yourself stay well while you're at home:

stay in touch with family and friends over the phone or on social media
try to keep yourself busy – you could try activities like cooking, reading, online learning and watching films
do light exercise at home, or outside once a day
