Hands - Face - Space

HELP KEEP WESTMINSTER SAFE:

To stop the spread of coronavirus remember:

  • Hands – wash your hands regularly
  • Face – use a face covering when social distancing is not possible
  • Space – try to keep 2 metres from anyone you do not live with

If you have coronavirus symptoms please do the following:

  • Isolate immediately for 10 days
  • Don’t wait for a test or a test result before isolating.

If you are told you have been in contact with someone who has tested positive for coronavirus, you must isolate for 14 days. There is now very high demand for coronavirus tests. Please only get a test if you have coronavirus symptoms (a new persistent cough, high temperature or a loss or change in sense of smell or taste) or have been asked to get tested.

Shanah Tovah to all who are observing the High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot. Commemorating these festivals will be different this year but it is important we do all we can to stop the spread of coronavirus. Whether you are at home or in a synagogue, the Government has published guidance for marking the holidays safely.

CELEBRATE ARTS AND CULTURE: Between Thursday 1 and Sunday 4 October, visitors to the West End will be able to rediscover its vibrant arts and culture scene. From Marble Arch through Leicester Square to Covent Garden Piazza, the Inside Out festival will feature open air performances, outdoor exhibitions and installations from some of the area’s top theatres, opera houses, museums and galleries.

All the events will be following strict COVID-19 safety measures, and social distancing will be implemented throughout the programme.
