# What about Covid?

No rebels who may be more vulnerable to Covid 19 should feel
at all pressurised to take part in physical actions. There are
plenty of ways in which you can contribute as a Home Rebel.

Most importantly, rebels should not participate in any actions
if they, or a person they have been in contact with, has had
coronavirus symptoms in the previous 14 days.

Three key precautionary elements that action planners
will bear in mind and try to provide for are:<br>
• **Social distancing:** Try to stay 2 metres (3 steps)
away from other rebels<br>
• **Face coverings**
Bring some face masks along<br>
• **Hand hygiene**
Wear gloves or wash your hands on a regular
basis, and think of ‘zero-contact’ alternatives
for things like flyers and sign-up sheets

It has been observed that police are not adhering to distancing
guidelines. Any action with risk of arrest, remand or prison may
involve significant additional personal risks to rebels’ health,
security and wellbeing.

It is up to rebels to keep themselves informed of risks, the latest
public health guidance and the latest regulations. We will try to
keep this [guidance on actions in the time of coronavirus](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TT3mmXhYFvP7yKo3-md40CsvKZae4pd1r3QvAC2UxT8/) up to date
which you can find on our [action resources page](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TT3mmXhYFvP7yKo3-md40CsvKZae4pd1r3QvAC2UxT8/). You can also
