We all need to play our part to protect our loved ones and our community from #COVID19 🧼 Wash your hands 😷 Wear a face covering ↔️ Keep your distance from those not in your household. 🔬 Get a test and self-isolate if you have symptoms

Face coverings are now compulsory in many indoor spaces like libraries and public reading rooms. Unless you have a legitimate reason not to, you must wear a face covering to protect others from the spread of infection. Find out more: gov.uk/government/publicatio…

Remember to keep your distance from others still wherever possible- 2 metres if you can. Where you can't keep 2 metres away from others, a face covering can help keep yourself and others safe. #StayAlert
