Social distancing: what you need to do

To stop the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), you should avoid close contact with anyone you do not live with. This is called social distancing.

How to avoid spreading the infection

It’s very important to do what you can to reduce the risk of you and other people getting ill with coronavirus.

You can spread the virus even if you do not have symptoms.

Face coverings

Wear something that covers your nose and mouth:

• on public transport
• when you go to hospital appointments or visit someone in hospital

If you can, also wear a face covering in other places when it’s hard to stay away from people, such as in shops.

Face coverings should not be worn by children under 3 and people who would find wearing them difficult (such as people with breathing difficulties).

To find out who needs to wear a face covering on public transport, see safer travel guidance for passengers on GOV.UK.

Looking after your health and wellbeing

To help yourself stay well while you’re at home:

• stay in touch with family and friends over the phone or on social media
• try to keep yourself busy – you could try activities like cooking, reading, online learning and watching films
• do light exercise at home or outside – see NHS fitness studio: exercises you can do at home
• consider taking 10 micrograms of vitamin D each day if you’re indoors most of the day – this is to keep your bones and muscles healthy
