Lectern sign carrying the message "STAY HOME PROTECT THE NHS SAVE LIVES" with the background colours of yellow, blue and red, reflecting the major political parties in England as used in the televised pressing conferences from 10 Downing Street, London, between 25 to 29 March 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic

Public health messaging has been central to the UK’s strategic response to the COVID-19 pandemic and underpinning the more complex range of messages aimed at different audiences have been a series of simple, baseline slogans. The most high profile stage for such messaging have been at the daily UK government press conferences held at 10 Downing Street where this lectern sign was used. It's message "Stay At Home. Protect the NHS, Save Lives", is perhaps the best known of those used in the campaign. First introduced in March 2020, this design represented the three major political parties: Liberal Democrats (yellow), Conservatives (blue) and Labour (red). It was replaced by STAY HOME PROTECT THE NHS SAVE LIVES on a yellow background with a red border.
