<p>Time spent in temporary accommodation ensures that no family is without a roof
over their head, and this is particularly important when we are dealing with the impacts
of Covid-19. <br> <br> Housing authorities must ensure that the accommodation is suitable
for the applicant and their household until the duty ends (for example, until they
are offered settled accommodation or they are no longer eligible for assistance).</p><p>If
you are living in accommodation that you share with other people, or if you share
facilities with other people, you should follow current PHE guidance on self-isolation
and self-distancing within the home. <br> <br> If you are having to leave accommodation,
you should get in touch with your local authority. <br> <br> You can find Government
guidance on cleaning your house to minimise the risk of infection here: <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fcovid-19-decontamination-in-non-healthcare-settings&data=02%7C01%7CParliamentary%40communities.gov.uk%7C069d16d3c82345d0d78c08d7d194a4db%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C637208308652532726&sdata=nclM0OHQd1NUc9Wxx8IF0frM0WeXLDLpI3J%2FrPd4uOk%3D&reserved=0"
