You can help to slow the spread of Coronavirus!

Make sure you and your children follow these general principles to prevent spreading any respiratory virus:

• Wash your hands often – with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or use an alcohol-based sanitiser if soap and water aren’t available.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

• If you feel unwell, stay at home and don’t attend work or school.

• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in a bin.

• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces in the home.

• If you’re worried about your symptoms, please call NHS 111 – don’t go directly to your GP or other healthcare environment.
