Face mask advice and information

In England, face coverings are no longer required by law.

The Brimington Surgery suggests that you  wear a face covering when you come to surgery if you feel vulnerable to infection or you have respiratory symptoms yourself.

Alone at home

Try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people if you:

  • have any symptoms of COVID-19, and have a high temperature or you do not feel well enough to go to work or do your normal activities
  • have tested positive for COVID-19 – this means it's very likely you have the virus
