The pandemic is NOT over, people are still becoming seriously ill or dying from COVID-19. Even fully vaccinated people can still contract the disease. They can still transmit COVID-19, especially as they may be unaware, showing only mild or no symptoms.
Show consideration towards others in your interactions.
If you have ANY COVID symptoms you must avoid contact with others and get a test or medical advice.
Think about meeting outdoors, increasing ventilation indoors, wearing a face covering in crowded areas, minimising the number proximity and duration of social contacts. Continue to wash or sanitise hands regularly and to clean surfaces touched by others.
