To advise the public on how to slow the spread of COVID-19 and reduce the impact on NHS services

This is the announcement that UK government and NHS-branded information will appear in radio, print, media and social media. 'Similar to the "Catch it, Bin it, Kill it" campaign used for flu and norovirus, it will promote important hygiene practices, such as regularly washing hands and always sneezing into a tissue, to stem the spread of viruses.'
