- continue working from home if you can
- wear your face covering
- maintain a 1.5m physical distance from others
- check occupancy levels prior to entering a space to enable 4sqm per occupant
- self-check and stay home if you're unwell
- wash your hands regularly with soap and water for 20 seconds
- use hand sanitiser when available
- clean or wipe down equipment you use.
