Guidelines

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Phase 2: staying safe and protecting others (physical distancing)

Only travel if your journey is essential, and walk, wheel or cycle where you can. Read guidance on how to travel safely during lockdown.

Stay local, within 5 miles for exercise and outdoor recreation. Try to avoid crowded places and exercise at less busy times where you can.

Always maintain physical distancing of at least 2 metres between different households, and follow strict hygiene guidance.

Be considerate when walking, wheeling or cycling, particularly to people from more vulnerable groups.
