Coronavirus self-isolation

If there's a chance you could have coronavirus, you are asked to stay away from other people (self-isolate).

Please refer to the latest updated guidance on staying at home for households with possible coronavirus (COVID-19) infection from Public Health England. 

Get coronavirus self-isolation advice from the NHS.

Public Health England has also created an easy-read guide to self-care during this time available to download in the downloads section. 

Self-isolation means you should:

  • stay at home
  • not go to work, school or public places
  • not use public transport or taxis
  • ask friends, family members or delivery services to do errands for you
  • try to avoid visitors to your home – it's OK for friends, family or delivery drivers to drop off food

You will need to do this for up to 14 days to help reduce the possible spread of infection.

Please note anyone whose household is displaying symptoms of corona virus and self-isolating (even if not a confirmed case) must store their household waste and recycling for at least 72 hours before putting it out for collection in their black and blue bins.
