Practical resources to help employers keep their workforce safe at work
This tool helps you consider your personal risk factors for COVID-19 and suggests how to stay safe
Are you using the NHS COVID-19 app? The app allows you to report symptoms, order a coronavirus test, and check in to venues by scanning a QR code, all while protecting your anonymity. If you’ve already downloaded the app, please remember to use it – the more people who use the app, the greater our chances of reducing the spread of the virus. The app is an important part of our Test, Trace, Protect programme.
Symptom Study
Help us fight coronavirus by reporting your health daily, even if you feel well.
You can help us fight coronavirus by completing a daily health survey on the COVID-19 symptom study app. This app is for everyone, not just for those who have symptoms.

We will not share the answers you give us beyond the NHS and trusted organisations working directly with the NHS in response to coronavirus.
