Coronavirus (COVID-19) - Best Practices

Everyone must stay at home and away from other people to stop the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). This is called social distancing.

Only leave your home if it’s essential

You should only leave your home for very limited purposes:

shopping for basic necessities, for example food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as possible
one form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle – alone or with members of your household
any medical need, including to donate blood, avoid or escape risk of injury or harm, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person
travelling for work purposes, but only where you cannot work from home

Avoid Close contact with people who are sick
Avoid large gathering
Practice Social Distancing
Practice good hand hygiene by washing your hands often using soap and water or alcohol base hand gel for at least 20 seconds
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surface
Use face mask
Stay home and be safe

Looking after your health and wellbeing

To help yourself stay well while you’re at home:

stay in touch with family and friends over the phone or on social media

try to keep yourself busy – you could try activities like cooking, reading, online learning and watching films

do light exercise at home, or outside once a day – see NHS fitness studio: exercises you can do at home

consider taking 10 micrograms of vitamin D each day if you’re indoors most of the day – this is to keep your bones and muscles healthy
