The Covid-19 App

The NHS COVID-19 app is now available to the public in England and Wales.
Download today from:

➡️ Apple App Store
➡️ Google Play

If more people use the app and self-isolate when alerted, we can keep each other safe and stop infection rates rising.

The ‘Rule of Six’

Social gatherings of more than six people are banned across England, Wales and Scotland as the government seeks to curb the rise in coronavirus cases.

The rules were implemented from Monday, 14th September and the change in the law introduced as the number of daily positive COVID-19 cases in the UK began to surge.

Guidance for people shielding

From 1 August, you will no longer be advised to shield unless the transmission of #COVID19 in the community starts to rise significantly.

If you can’t work from home, your employer should help you to get back to work safely, while maintaining social distancing in the workplace.

If you decide to continue shielding in August, you:
▶️can get help from NHS Volunteer Responders (they will continue to deliver food, prescriptions and essential items you buy)
▶️will still be eligible for priority supermarket slots
