Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Continue to be cautious
We still need everyone to play their part in preventing the spread of COVID-19, to keep people safe and keep services running.
- Get all recommended doses of the vaccine as soon as you can.
- If you have symptoms including a high temperature, a new continuous cough or a change in your sense of taste or smell, stay at home.
- Be cautious - wash your hands regularly, wear a face covering, keep your distance from others, meet up outdoors where you can and let in fresh air if you're meeting indoors.
