Prevention

Good hygiene remains the best prevention and you should continue to take some simple steps to protect you and your family by:

• washing your hands regularly and thoroughly, for at least 20 seconds
• if you cough, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue
• put used tissues in the bin immediately

We will provide additional information as and when this becomes available.

I’m worried about someone. What should I do?

• Stay in touch over the phone, by post, online or by popping over for a chat (assuming the person is allowed to have contact with others, and you take the precautions outlined above).
• See if people need any shopping or help by running some errands.
• Encourage people to stay active around the house and keep moving.
