It is important to note that governments in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have each taken different approaches for their citizens, partly because they believe that the level of infection - and therefore the risk - will differ.
The appropriate authority for each country has identified key steps, we have used wording taken from each nation's official guidance below:
