Winter Is On Its Way - Help Keep Churchill & Langford Coronavirus (COVID-19) Free: 

Avoid crowded situations (if unavoidable avoid face-to-face contact)

Book a test and stay at home if you have symptoms – telephone NHS: 119

Clean your hands and surfaces more frequently than usual for at least 20 seconds using soap and water or alcohol-based sanitiser. Always wash or sanitise your hands before and after travelling to work and/or being in communal spaces

Keep your distance! 2m is safer than 1m. If 2m is not possible, take other steps to reduce risk such as opening windows, wearing a face covering, avoiding face-to-face contact 

In enclosed spaces (shops etc) where you can’t keep your distance, ALWAYS wear a face covering/mask or other recommended Personal Protective Equipment 

 Follow your employer’s and government advice to help protect yourself and others
