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

• Wash hands - keep washing your hands regularly.
• Make space - stay at least two metres apart - or one metre with a face covering or other precautions.
• Cover face - wear a face covering in enclosed space. In England, you must wear a face covering in many indoor settings which include: public transport, shops and supermarkets, visitor attractions, entertainment venues, community centres, youth centres and social clubs. Please take a look at the government guidance, which explains what face coverings are, their role in reducing the transmission of coronavirus (Covid-19), the settings in which they're recommended, and how they should be safely used and stored. This information relates to the use of face coverings in public spaces where social distancing isn't always possible. It's also important to follow all the other government advice on coronavirus (Covid-19), including meeting with others safely.

The main symptom are:

• A high temperature– this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you don't need to measure your temperature)
• A new, continuous cough– this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or three or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
• A loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you've noticed you can't smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal

Most people with coronavirus have at least one of these symptoms.

You can find out more about coronavirus, social distancing, how to self-isolate, helping others safely and more on the NHS website and the Gov.uk coronavirus information pages.

Specific advice is available on:

• Shielding and protecting people who are clinically extremely vulnerable to Covid-19
• People classed as higher risk, and those classed as most at risk

If you have any of the main symptoms of coronavirus:

• Get a test to check if you have coronavirus as soon as possible
• Stay at home and don't have visitors until you get your test result – only leave your home to have a test.

Anyone you live with, and anyone in your support bubble, must also stay at home until you get your result.
