COVID-19 advice

 

We are experiencing a period of rising COVID-19 infections throughout the UK and we must follow all advice from WHO and the UK Government. What we must do is minimise our exposure to it and to break the chain of infection in order to stop the spread.

 

We must all do the following:

 

- Wash our hands with soap and warm water when we arrive at work or at home and also during the day for at least 20 seconds.

- Use hand sanitiser when soap and water are not available.

- Have tissues on hand and cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing then dispose of them in ab in straight away.

- Sneeze in the bend of your elbow if tissues are not available and wash your hands or use hand sanitiser.

- Follow social distancing rules of at least 2m apart when shopping or in other public areas

- Avoid close contact with people who have respiratory illnesses

- Stay at home and do not go out unless it is absolutely essential and unavoidable

- Avoid touching your face or eyes with unwashed hands

- Disinfect objects and surfaces that are touched often

- Wear a mask or face covering when going shopping or in other enclosed spaces

- Stay at home if you have coronavirus symptoms and book a free test through the NHS by clicking here https://www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test

- Follow the advice from the test and trace system if they ask you to self isolate. It is an offence in the UK not to self isolate punishable by a fine.

- Common symptoms of COVID-19 are a loss of taste or smell, high fever or a new, continuous cough.
