Move to Step 4
While we moved to Step 4 of the roadmap on Monday, everyone should act carefully while managing the risks as cases of COVID-19 remain high. This is why we encourage you to:
- Be cautious
- Be considerate
- Think about the risks
If you are worried about going back to a more ‘normal’ life, there is information from the NHS on how to cope with anxiety about lockdown lifting.
Be cautious:
-
Get vaccinated - remember to have both doses.
-
Get tested if you have symptoms or are advised to by Test and Trace.
-
Isolate if you have symptoms, test positive or are told to by Test and Trace.
Be considerate:
-
Use symptom-free tests twice a week - these are available for free to everyone.
-
Wear a face covering in crowded areas. The Government expects and recommends that people wear face coverings in crowded areas such as public transport.
-
Stay at home if you feel unwell to reduce the risk that you will pass on an illness to your friends, colleagues, and others in your community.
Think about the risks:
-
Meet outdoors in smaller groups and minimise the number, proximity and duration of social contacts.
-
Give people space to reduce close contact.
-
Wash your hands with soap and water or use hand sanitiser regularly throughout the day. Regular hand washing is an effective way to reduce your risk of catching illnesses, including COVID-19.
-
Use the app to help stop the spread.
-
Ventilate - the more fresh air you let into your home or other enclosed spaces, the less likely a person is to inhale infectious particles.
