Staying safe and preventing the spread
We can all help control the virus if we all stay alert.
There are simple actions we must all do to keep on protecting each other:
- wash hands; keep washing your hands regularly
- cover face; wear a face covering in enclosed spaces. If you are unable to wear a face covering, you can download an exemption card
- make space; stay at least 2 metres apart or 1 metre with a face covering or other precautions
- open windows to let fresh air in enclosed spaces
- do not leave home if you or anyone in your household has symptoms and book a COVID-19 test. If you are worried about your symptoms, use the online NHS 111 coronavirus service.
You can keep up to date on Essex County Council’s services on their website.
