Think Local Act Personal

A way of protecting people who are most at risk of becoming seriously ill if they get coronavirus, by making sure they have as little contact as possible with other people. They should not leave their homes for a set period (currently 12 weeks), and anyone they live with should follow the Government's guidance on social distancing.
