Wash your hands regularly and for at least 20 seconds.
Wear a face covering in indoor settings where social distancing may be difficult, and where you will come into contact with people you do not normally meet.
Stay 2 metres apart from people you do not live with where possible, or 1 metre with extra precautions in place (such as wearing face coverings).
If you have symptoms of COVID-19 you need to self-isolate immediately, alongside anyone you live with, and book a free test. Only the person who has symptoms needs to take a test.
