Remember, it is much more difficult for coronavirus to spread outdoors compared to indoors.

Please follow the latest guidance and regulations to keep each other safe:

You can gather outdoors (including in private gardens) in groups of six people or with one other household
Outdoor sports facilities such as tennis and basketball courts, and open-air swimming pools, will also be allowed to reopen, and people will be able to take part in formally organised outdoor sports
You should continue to work from home where you can and minimise the number of journeys you make where possible, avoiding travel at the busiest times and routes

We need you to Keep Doing Your Bit so we can keep people safe, get our economy back open, save lives and protect the NHS.

Keep at least two metres from people outside your household
Cover your mouth and nose when indoors in public places
Regularly wash your hands for at least 20 seconds
Keep your home well ventilated by letting fresh air in

If you are feeling unwell (opens in a new tab):

stay at home and immediately get a test.
if you are contacted by NHS Test and Trace and told you have been close to someone with the virus, follow the instructions and self-isolate at home.

We know it can be difficult for some people to self-isolate but there is support available. Find out about the support available if you need to self-isolate here (opens in a new tab)
