Coronavirus

New guidance

Greater Manchester has been identified as an area where the new Covid-19 variant, referred to as the Delta variant, is spreading quickly.

This is because the new COVID-19 variant spreads more easily from person to person.

To help stop the spread, you should take particular caution when meeting anyone outside your household or support bubble.

You should:

Meet outside rather than inside where possible
Keep 2 metres apart from people that you don’t live with (unless you have formed a support bubble with them), this includes friends and family you don’t live with
Minimise travel in and out of affected areas
Get tested twice a week for free and isolate if you are positive
Continue to work from home if you can
Get vaccinated when you are offered it, and encourage others to do so as well

Full details of the rules and government guidence can be found on the GOV.UK website:

However, you should continue to take extra precautions to protect yourself.
