‘Wear face coverings to stop Covid spread’

- GP Dr Helen Lawal explains:

“Christmas is around the corner, and we are all looking forward to being with friends and loved ones, so it’s important to remember that Covid-19 hasn’t gone away.

“So take the necessary precaution­s to minimise the risk of the virus spreading. You can do this by making sure indoor spaces are wellventil­ated by opening windows, even just for ten minutes.

“Wearing face coverings on public transport, in public enclosed spaces, and in large groups helps stop the spread of the virus.

“Taking a rapid lateral flow test before special occasions, such as meeting up with loved ones or celebratin­g Christmas with work colleagues, will help us keep each other safe.”
