COVID-19: Information for residents and businesses

Our website offers a variety of advice relating to coronavirus.

Government advice

The government has removed remaining domestic restrictions in England as part of its Living with COVID-19 plan. There are still steps you can take to reduce the risk of catching and spreading COVID-19:

Get vaccinated
Let fresh air in if meeting others indoors
Consider wearing a face covering in crowded, enclosed spaces
Practice good hygiene:
- wash your hands
- cover your coughs and sneezes
- clean your surroundings frequently

Find out how to stay safe and help prevent the spread on the GOV.UK website

Guidance for people who are extremely vulnerable (shielded) and their family, friends and carers is available on the GOV.UK website.
