COVID-19 Keeping Safe
The government has recently set out a plan to live with COVID-19.
All of the COVID-19 rules (laws) have now ended. However, the government have made some suggestions about how we can all reduce the risk of getting COVID-19.
- It is no longer the law to self-isolate if you get COVID-19. However, it is suggested to stay at home if you can and limit your contact with others.
- You do not need to self-isolate or do daily tests if you come into close contact with someone who has COVID-19.
- It is not the law to wear a face covering in indoor public spaces. It is suggested when in a cowded indoor setting.
- When meeting indoors it is important to let fresh air in.
