Current restrictions

Coronavirus restrictions remain in place - find out the rules on what you can and cannot do.

Stay safe

There are three simple actions we must all do to keep on protecting each other:

• Wash hands: keep washing your hands regularly
• Cover face: wear a face covering in enclosed spaces
• Make space: stay at least 2 metres apart - or 1 metre with a face covering or other precautions

Local authorities across Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire have come together to develop a local plan to manage Covid-19. Visit Stay Safe CSW for more information.

If you are showing symptoms

If you have any COVID-19 symptoms, start isolating and book a COVID-19 test:

• Start isolating: 10 days for you and 14 days for your household
• Book a test: Book a test online or call 119

Use the postcode checker to find your nearest rapid testing site.

Free rapid testing

You can get regular rapid tests if you do not have symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19). About 1 in 3 people with coronavirus do not have symptoms but can still infect others. Getting tested regularly is the only way to know if you have the virus. If people test positive and self-isolate, it helps stop the virus spreading.
