“As more services reopen for business, remember to use the basic public health advice as a guide when organising your time."
"When you are out in shops and accessing services, try to avoid high risk situations and wear a face covering when social distancing is not possible on busy streets and crowded outdoor areas."
"When you come home from shopping or being outdoors, remember that washing your hands is your first priority."
