The UK Government advises that we can all help control the virus if we all stay alert. This means you must:
-
-
- Stay at home as much as possible
- Work from home if you can
- Limit contact with other people
- Keep your distance if you go out (2 metres apart where possible)
- Wash your hands regularly
- Self-isolate if you or anyone in your household has symptoms.
-
However, please be aware that the details of the rules do differ slightly between the 4 UK nations. You must follow the rules for the UK nation where you are currently residing.
