NHS advice on avoiding catching and spreading COVID-19
Do

- Wash your hands with soap and water or use hand sanitiser regularly throughout the day, especially after you cough, sneeze or blow your nose, and before you eat or handle food.
- Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze and encourage children to do this.
- Regularly clean surfaces you touch often (such as door handles and remote controls) and in shared spaces, such as kitchens or bathrooms.
- Think about wearing a face covering that fits snugly against your face and has more than 1 layer if you're in close contact with other people, or in crowded places.
Don’t
