‘Flow before you go’. Take a lateral flow test if you don’t have symptoms before going out, especially when meeting others. If it is positive, do not go out and take a PCR test within 24 hours.
If you meet people other than your household meet them outdoors wherever possible. If meetings indoors make sure it is well ventilated.
