Latest official Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic advice and actions can most reliably be found on these government and NHS websites:

Includes guidance under the "How to protect yourself and others" tab on:

  • National restrictions
  • Self isolating and testing
  • Work and financial support
  • Schools, education and child care
  • Travel and transport.

The Guidance document focusing on the design principles for safer urban and green spaces sets out information and examples of interventions that may be undertaken by local authorities and others to keep people safe as and when the restrictions are relaxed and urban and green spaces become busier.
