“We can all do our bit to help by staying alert and following the government’s guidelines. This means you must:

*stay at home as much as possible

*work from home if you can

*limit contact with other people

*keep your distance if you go out (2 metres apart where possible)

*wash your hands regularly

*Do not leave home if you or anyone in your household has symptoms.”
