STEP 1: Prevent:
- Keep your distance – always follow the latest social distance guidance
- Wash your hands – thoroughly washing your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds remains the best personal hygiene precaution
STEP 2: Notice:
- Be aware of COVID-19 symptoms – so you can recognise as soon as possible if you or someone close to you has them
– a high temperature
– a new, continuous cough
– a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste
STEP 3: Act:
- Get tested – If there is any hint of the symptoms in your household, make sure the person with the symptoms is tested as soon as possible
- Stay home – Do the right thing if you and your household need to self-isolate:
– whether one of you has symptoms and you are waiting for the results
– whether one of you has tested positive
– or whether one of you has been in contact with someone who has tested positive
