Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Guidance for living safely with COVID-19

The government has removed coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions and issued guidance on reducing the risk of infection for yourself and other people.

You can find government guidance on:

• living safely with respiratory infections including COVID-19 External link
• protection for people at higher risk of serious illness due to a weakened immune system External link
  

Vaccinations

The COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. They give you the best protection against COVID-19. Find out your eligibility and how to get:

• the autumn booster for people at greatest risk from COVID-19 external link
• your first, second or booster dose if you still need to complete your vaccine course external link

Testing

You are no longer advised to test routinely for COVID-19, so the provision of free tests has stopped. Limited testing continues only for vulnerable individuals and in high-risk settings.

You could need to test if you:

• have a health condition which means you are eligible for COVID-19 treatments
• work in healthcare or adult social care, depending on your role and whether you have symptoms
• are going into hospital for certain types of treatment
