Prevent the spread of the virus
Remember the 'hands, face, space guidance'. Wash your hands regularly for 20 seconds or use hand sanitiser, wear a face covering where it is mandatory or where social distancing may be difficult, and stay 2 metres apart from people outside your household or support bubble.
By following the guidance, people across Leicestershire have helped to reduce the transmission of coronavirus in our communities.
As the UK moves to the next phase in our fight against coronavirus, the most important thing we can do is to stay at home, and in doing so, save lives.
Please see the latest government guidance
Symptoms and testing - when to book a test
The main symptoms of coronavirus are:
- high temperature - this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
- new, continuous cough - this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
- loss or change to your sense of smell or taste - this means you've noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal
Most people with coronavirus have at least one of these symptoms.
If you have any of these symptoms, book a test online or call 119, and only leave home to get tested.
