COVID-19 guidance and support
The Government has removed remaining COVID-19 restrictions. There are steps you can take to reduce the risk of catching and spreading COVID-19:
- Get vaccinated
- Let fresh air in if meeting indoors, or meet outside
- Wash your hands regularly
- If you have symptoms, stay at home if you can until you feel well enough to resume your normal activities, and you no longer have a high temperature
- Consider wearing a face covering in crowded, enclosed spaces

Following the government's Living with COVID-19 announcement, routine COVID-19 contact tracing has now come to an end. Both NHS Test and Trace and our local contact tracing service have now been stood down.
If you were required to isolate before 24 February, you can still apply for the Test and Trace support payment up to 42 days after your first day of isolation. More information at .
COVID-19 testing
As of 1 April 2022, free universal COVID-19 symptomatic and asymptomatic testing has come to an end nationally. Under the government's new guidance individuals at high risk from COVID-19 and workers in some vulnerable settings can still access testing.
