So far almost 2,000 residents have completed the quiz with an average score of 75 per cent.

As the rules around households, bubbles and socialising have been updated it can be hard for some people to understand the guidance when it comes to keeping safe.

So, Peterborough City Council and Cambridgeshire County Council have designed a fun, but informative online Corona-Quiz to help remind residents of the do's and don'ts. The quiz can be found here: https://qz.app.do/corona-quiz-peterborough and will run until the end of the month. People are being encouraged to share it with their friends.

City residents are showing themselves to be pretty Covidsavvy with 99 per cent knowing that they cannot leave self-isolation early if showing no symptoms.

However 61 per cent of residents wrongly guessed that ‘they need to take a test if they have no symptoms and have been in close contact with someone who has been confirmed as having coronavirus’.

The council says this is wrong - you should only take a test if you have symptoms although you must continue to self-isolate for 14 days. If you take a test and it is negative you could still develop symptoms and infect other people up to 14 days after being in contact with someone who has got the virus.
