“A clear message to OBEY to protect yourself and NHS,

Stay at home to stop coronavirus spreading”

 

Everyone must stay at home to help stop the spread of coronavirus.

You should ONLY leave the house for 1 of 4 reasons:

  • shopping for basic necessities, for example food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as possible
  • one form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle – alone or with members of your household
  • any medical need, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person
  • travelling to and from work, but only where this absolutely cannot be done from home

Peterborough City Council have created this campaign page to provide local communities, organisations and services with coronavirus campaign materials. Please share these posters, videos, audio clips, and social media messages to encourage people to do the simple things to help prevent the spread of coronavirus.

These materials complement the Public Health England and NHS campaigns on coronavirus.

https://www.peterborough.gov.uk/healthcare/public-health/coronavirus/coronavirus-campaign-for-communities

We've worked with people across our communities to translate the important public health messages into other languages.

Please help us to share them as widely as you can, helping to reinforce the message that people must stay at home unless for the reasons set out by Government.
