 Please continue to observe the guidance on staying at home. This advice is not expected to change until at least 29 March.
This means we must continue to wash our hands, wear our face coverings in public spaces, leave at least 2 metres of room between ourselves and anyone outside of our household or support bubble.
 We are currently preparing for Step 1 of the Government's four-step roadmap out of national lockdown.
Please make sure you're aware of what the rules will be on 8 March. Until then, continue to follow the national lockdown restrictions.
It is important that we all continue to observe the rules closely through the process of lifting restrictions so that we can keep each other safe and return to normal life quickly.
 If you’re a parent or a guardian of primary school aged children, you can get a FREE rapid test in preparation for the kids going back to school next week. If you don’t have COVID-19 symptoms, getting tested regularly will help to protect yourself and your family as we all follow the Government’s roadmap out of lockdown.
You can book rapid tests as often as you like here or drop-in at:
- Heston Library – New Heston Road, Hounslow TW5 0LW – Open 6.30am-7.30pm Mon-Fri, or 8.00am-4.00pm Sat/Sun
