On this page you’ll find links to the relevant Coronavirus guidance, both nationally and locally - as well as information on how you can continue to support businesses in Leicester & Leicestershire.
Public health guidance
The whole of England entered a new national lockdown on 5 January. We must all stay at home except for specific reasons, such as essential shopping, exercise or work (if you absolutely cannot work from home).
Visit gov.uk for full lockdown rules which now apply.
Schools have moved to remote learning for most pupils until at least February half term. Only children of key workers and vulnerable children can attend school in person.
Please all continue to:
- Stay 2m apart from anyone you do not live with.
- Wash or sanitise your hands regularly.
- Wear a face covering on buses, in shops and in any space where distancing is difficult.
- Book a test and self-isolate as soon as you get symptoms.
- If you test positive, continue to stay at home for at least 10 days and until you feel better. Everyone you live with should stay at home for 10 days, even if they don't have symptoms.
