Stay at home to stop Coronavirus spreading

Everyone must stay at home to help stop the spread of Coronavirus.

This includes people of all ages – even if you do not have any symptoms or other health conditions.

You can only leave your home:

• to shop for basic essentials – only when you really need to

• to do one form of exercise a day – such as a run, walk or cycle, alone or with other people you live with

• for any medical need – for example, to visit a pharmacy or deliver essential supplies to a vulnerable person

• to travel to and from work – but only where this is absolutely necessary

 

Voluntary Action Doncaster are committed to keeping you informed and up to date with the latest information and we have a series of links and resources below that have been collated by for us to share locally.

We will be keeping this website:  www.voluntaryactiondoncaster.org.uk updated with information as it becomes available.
