Having a chronic condition means you are more at risk of severe COVID-19.
Avoid catching coronavirus
Avoid others as much as possible

Don’t go out unless necessary. Ask others to do the shopping and fetch your grants and medications.

Avoid having visitors in your home.
If you do go out or spend time with others:

Keep physical distance.

Avoid crowds, close contact and confined spaces.

Wear a mask.

Sit outside or open the windows.

Wash your hands often.
Keep yourself healthy

If you become unwell, seek health care promptly.

Look after your chronic conditions. This might help prevent severe COVID-19 if you do catch coronavirus.

Get vaccinated against COVID-19. Ask your healthcare worker about when the vaccine will be available for those with chronic conditions.
If others at home have COVID-19 or had contact with COVID-19, try to live separately until the isolation time is over.
