The UK’s Chief Medical Officer and actor Mark Strong will feature in new TV adverts as part of the government’s public awareness campaign to delay the spread of COVID-19 and keep people safe.
The adverts will hit screens on Thursday (19 March) and help explain new guidance to stay at home for 14 days if someone in your household has symptoms.
The guidance sets out that individuals will still be asked to self-isolate for seven days from the onset of symptoms, but any individuals in the household will now be asked to self-isolate for 14 days from that moment as well.
