Latest COVID-19 advice

Although most formal COVID-19 restrictions are now no longer in place outside healthcare settings, COVID-19 has not gone away. There are simple and effective things you can still do to keep yourself and your loved ones safe.

Reduce the risk of catching and spreading COVID-19 

You can help reduce the risk of catching and spreading COVID-19 and keep yourself and your loved ones safe by: 

  • Getting vaccinated 

  • Letting fresh air in if you’re meeting indoors, or meeting outside 

  • Considering wearing a face covering in crowded, enclosed spaces if you can 

  • Getting tested if you have COVID-19 symptoms, and stay at home if you test positive 

How to get the COVID-19 vaccination 

Getting your COVID-19 vaccination is easier than ever, and it is not too late to get your vaccine. Visit www.thevaccinators.co.uk to find a walk-in clinic near you, or book vaccination appointments via www.nhs.uk/covidvaccine or by calling 119.

What to do if you have COVID-19 

Most people with COVID-19 get better within a few weeks. You may be able to look after yourself at home while you recover.  

If you have a high temperature, it can help to get lots of rest, drink plenty of fluids, and take over-the-counter painkillers such as ibuprofen or paracetamol if you’re feeling uncomfortable. To treat a cough you should avoid lying on your back when you’re resting, or try having a teaspoon of honey. 

If your symptoms get worse or you feel unable to care for yourself, visit NHS 111 online via 111.nhs.uk or call 111 for advice.  

Visit NHS.UK here for more detailed advice on how to look after yourself if you have COVID-19. 

Continued restrictions in healthcare settings 

To keep patients and staff safe, healthcare settings including hospitals and GP practices still require you to follow COVID-19 measures when you visit. You must wear a face covering in these settings unless you are exempt. Please use hand sanitation stations provided on site and do not attend if you have COVID-19, unless absolutely required. 

Please contact the hospital you are attending or visit the hospital’s website to find out more about their latest visiting information.
