Coronavirus guidance

The Government’s guidance and what we know about the virus is changing, so it’s important to stay up to date with the latest advice.

National lockdown: Stay at home

The Government has announced a new national lockdown in England. This replaces the tier system and means we must all stay at home as much as possible. Find out more about the rules in England.

Test and Trace

The NHS Test and Trace service launched on Thursday 28 May and forms part of the Government’s strategy to reduce the spread of coronavirus and help us to return to normal.
