COVID-19 Q&A

UPDATED: Tuesday 22nd March 2022

The following advice applies to the UK. If Olio-ing outside the UK, please ensure you follow local Government guidance at all times.

Yes. Sharing on Olio can continue

By following hygiene guidelines you can minimise the risk to yourself and your community:

Wash your hands with soap and water often – do this as a matter of routine for at least 20 seconds
- Before and after handling food, and especially after being in a public place, blowing their nose, coughing, or sneezing
- Wash before and after setting items out/handling items
- Wash before and after picking items up/bringing items home
Use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze and wash your hands thereafter

You can choose to wear gloves, however, this does not replace the need to thoroughly wash hands at critical points such as handling items.

Please be considerate of others who may be vulnerable, or living/working with vulnerable people
If you can, please get tested; if you test positive please do not use Olio whilst you have COVID
If you can't get tested, but have the symptoms of COVID, please don't use OLIO until the symptoms have gone

You can ask other Olioers if they are feeling unwell. Please understand this may be a sensitive subject and should be approached with compassion.
