HSE COVID Bubbles Campaign

/in /by

When you keep your distance, no matter how awkward it feels, you’re protecting yourself and those around you from the spread of COVID-19.
But when you drop your guard,
When groups get together,
When you shake hands or hug someone you love,
When you step forward instead of taking a step back,
You could become exposed to the virus and so could the people around you.
Help drive the number of cases down.
Keep your guard up.
