Do the right thing to stop Covid-19 by masking up if you can't keep 2m distance between yourself and other people. Avoid touching your face, and wash your hands often with simple soap and warm water, for at least 20 seconds. You only need to use sanitiser if you can't wash your hands. If you are using hand sanitiser, read the label carefully. Hand sanitiser must contain at least 60% alcohol to be effective against viruses.

Stay safe and well, and play your part.
