As a country, we all need to do what we can to reduce the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).

The government has set out its plan to return life to as near normal as we can, as quickly and fairly as possible in order to safeguard livelihoods, but in a way that is safe and continues to protect our NHS. The strategy sets out a roadmap to easing existing measures in phases and as part of that, we are all advised to follow guidelines to stay alert and safe.

The government has also given clear guidance on self-isolation, and asked that schools only remain open for those children who absolutely need to attend.
