Wearing face covering in public is most effective at reducing COVID-19 spread
COVID-19 rates are rising fast now in Surrey, with a 28% rise across the county compared to a 7% rise nationally, over the last 7 days. It’s now so important that we all do everything we can to control the spread of the virus and protect ourselves and others in the run up to Christmas
Wearing a face covering is a key measure to suppress COVID-19 transmission and save lives
Latest evidence shows that wearing a well fitted face covering over your mouth and nose, protects you and others by helping to reduce the spread of COVID-19
You should continue to wear a face covering in crowded and enclosed areas where you are mixing with people you do not usually meet
Be aware that some people cannot wear a face covering for health reasons. For more information check: Guidance on face covering and exemptions www.gov.uk/coronarvirus
