 Living with Covid – 5 things you can do
Covid-19 is still circulating. There are some things you can do to help yourself, your family and your community:
-
Get vaccinated to reduce your risk of becoming seriously ill
- If you feel unwell and have flu like or Covid-19 symptoms and a high temperature avoid close contact with others and stay at home if you can
- Let in fresh air when you meet others indoors, especially if they’re at high risk from Covid-19
-
Wash your hands regularly and cover your mouth and nose if you cough or sneeze
- Wear a face covering in crowded and enclosed places and when coming into contact with people at higher risk from Covid-19
Let’s all keep helping each other as much as possible.
