Hands, Face, Space

There are three simple actions we must all do to keep on protecting each other:

• HANDS – keep washing your hands regularly
• FACE – wear a face covering over your nose and mouth in enclosed spaces
• SPACE – stay at least 2 metres apart, or 1 metre with a face covering or other precautions

If you are feeling unwell, get a test and do not leave home for at least 10 days.
