• 📲 Download the NHS Covid-19 app and make sure to check in at gyms, hospitality and other venues to help stop the spread. 
• If someone in your household tests positive for Covid-19, or you are returning from abroad, it's important to self-isolate. Review the practical advice to help you stay at home safely. 

💉🤔 Fear of needles?

Is a fear of needles stopping you from getting your jab? The vaccinators and staff at local vaccination centres have been trained to support people who suffer from this common phobia to overcome their fears briefly. 

Take the right test!

COVID-19 symptoms or feeling unwell? Isolate immediately and book a standard (PCR) test.

If you have no symptoms, twice weekly rapid COVID-19 tests help detect and contain asymptomatic cases.

Remember ❗️ It's important that you still get tested even after you have received both doses of the vaccine.
