Help protect yourself and others against the Coronavirus

Help protect yourself and others against the Coronavirus by washing your hands more often and for 20 seconds. The video below, produced by the NHS, shows the right way to do it.

You can also reduce the spread of germs when you cough or sneeze, by covering your mouth and nose with a tissue, or the using the crook of your arm (not your hands) if you don’t have a tissue.

You should then immediately throw the tissue away and then wash your hands or use a hand sanitising gel.

To reduce the risk of passing the infection on to other people, clean and disinfect regularly touched objects and surfaces using your regular cleaning products.

At the current time and based Public Health England’s understanding of what is known of COVID-19, it is likely that older people and those with chronic medical conditions may be vulnerable to severe disease.

This is why it is important to practice good hygiene practices to reduce the risk for these at-risk groups.

As more information emerges, recommendations may change. We will keep you updated as and when this happens.
