‘Keep following these steps to stay safe’

Dr Jenny Harries, chief executive of the UK Health Security Agency

“As we approach winter, everyone should keep following the simple steps to protect themselves and others.

“Avoid mixing with others if you feel unwell, get a PCR test straight away if you have any Covid symptoms and if you’re meeting people indoors, make sure you let fresh air in.

“Remember, the best way to protect yourself and others against Covid-19 is to get the vaccine, so please do come forward if you are eligible.”
