Coronavirus (COVID-19)
The government is removing remaining domestic restrictions in England.
There are still steps you can take to reduce the risk of catching and spreading COVID-19:
- get vaccinated and get your booster dose
- let fresh air in if meeting indoors, or meet outside
- consider wearing a face covering in crowded, enclosed spaces
- get tested if you have COVID-19 symptoms, and stay at home if positive
