We can all help control the virus if we all STAY ALERT. This means you must: 

  • stay at home as much as possible
  • work from home if you can
  • limit contact with other people
  • keep your distance if you go out (2 metres apart where possible)
  • wash your hands regularly 

Do not leave home if you or anyone in your household has symptoms.
