Avoid non-essential contact with others and unnecessary travel. Work from home if you can and avoid social settings.
This advice is really important for people who are over 70; have a long-term condition; are pregnant or have a weakened immune system. For most people coronavirus will be a mild illness, but these are the groups of people who are at greater risk of developing a more serious illness.
