Stay at home, keep communities safe and save lives

You must stay at home, only leaving for the following very limited purposes:

• Shopping for basic necessities, as infrequently as possible.
• One form of exercise a day – for example, a run, walk, cycle or to walk the dog – alone or with members of your immediate household.
• Any medical need, to provide care or to help a vulnerable person.
• Travelling to and from work, but only where this absolutely cannot be done from home.

Remember:

• Only go outside for food, health reasons or work (but only if you cannot work from home).
• Stay 2 metres (6ft) away from other people.
• Do not meet others, even friends or family. You can spread the virus even if you don’t have symptoms.
• Wash your hands as soon as you get home.
