We are now in Step 4 on the Government’s roadmap. The government will continue to manage the risk of serious illness from the spread of the virus. For more information, visit gov.uk/coronavirus.
Find out what has changed and what you should do to protect yourself and others.
Whilst legal requirements regarding face masks and social contact have been lifted, there are simple measures we can all take to help keep each other safe. It is expected and recommended that people:
- Get your vaccine - it's important to get both your first and second dose for maximum protection.
- Wear a face covering in crowded areas such as public transport.
- Keep testing regularly to help manage your personal risk and protect others.
- Self isolate and take a PCR test if you have symptoms. Mild symptoms for you could make others seriously ill. Don't guess - take a test
- Consider limiting close contact with people you do not live with and open windows to let fresh air in.
- Wash your hands with soap and water or use hand sanitiser regularly throughout the day.
It is a legal requirement to self-isolate if you are told to by NHS Test and Trace.
