- Wash your hands before and after your completing a story, and then again as soon as you get home.
- Make sure you stay two metres away from anyone who does not live in your house, even if they are friends or family.
- Do not leave the house if you or any family members are showing any of the sign of the virus.
- Don’t go into the playground – even if the characters in the stories do.
