'Stay Home, Protect the NHS, Save Lives' was a public information campaign organised and promoted by Public Health England in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. These two 30-second radio advertisements, labelled 'Generic' and 'Exercise' respectively, are part of a series of four adverts that were broadcast in England beginning 14th January 2021.

Following a number complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) over the accuracy of the Government's assertions made in the 'Exercise' version, ASA stated on 21st January 2021 the Government had agreed that "the ad will be discontinued by early next week [beginning 25th January] and the claim about individuals being highly likely to have COVID-19 will not be repeated."

TRANSCRIPT
- Generic (00:00):
Someone on your street, at your supermarket, or in your park is highly likely to have COVID-19.
This is a national health emergency.
Around one in three people have no symptoms and are spreading it without knowing, so it's critical that we stay home.
Don't meet anyone outside your household or support bubble except for exercise. Only go out if it's essential.
Stop the spread. Stick to the rules. If you bend the rules, people will die.
Stay home. Protect the NHS. Save lives.
- Exercise (00:32):
Someone jogging, walking their dog, or working out in the park is highly likely to have COVID-19.
This is a national health emergency.
Around one in three people have no symptoms and are spreading it without knowing, so exercise locally.
If you're on your own, you can meet one other person. But keep your distance.
Exercise, don't socialise. And wash your hands the moment you get home.
Stop the spread. Stick to the rules. If you bend the rules, people will die.
Stay home, protect the NHS, save lives
