Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Advice and support for Hampshire residents and businesses during the coronavirus
Taking the next steps safely together
National coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions have now been lifted, apart from a few ongoing key protections. These include the requirement to test with or without symptoms, self-isolate if you test positive and international border quarantine rules.
Although restrictions have been lifted, the COVID-19 pandemic is not over and everybody is asked to exercise caution as they enjoy the new freedoms. You can protect yourself and your loved ones by:
- Meeting up outside and opening windows or doors if you have visitors indoors
- Taking a PCR test and staying home if you have COVID-19 symptoms
- Wearing a face covering in crowded places to help protect others
- Checking in with the NHS COVID-19 app when you’re out
- Washing your hands frequently with soap and for at least 20 seconds
- Getting vaccinated if you are eligible
The Government has issued detailed guidance about keeping safe.
