CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

The NHS and Public Health England (PHE) are extremely well prepared for outbreaks of new infectious diseases. The NHS has put in place measures to ensure the safety of all patients and NHS staff while also ensuring services are available to the public as normal.

STAY AT HOME IF YOU HAVE EITHER:

a high temperature – you feel hot to touch on your chest or back
a new, continuous cough – this means you’ve started coughing repeatedly
anosmia – a loss or change in your normal sense of smell, sense of taste can also be affected

Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital.

You do not need to contact 111 to tell them you’re staying at home.

Testing for coronavirus is not needed if you’re staying at home.

HOW LONG TO STAY AT HOME

if you have symptoms, stay at home for 10 days
if you live with other people, they should stay at home for 14 days from the day the first person got symptoms

If you live with someone who is 70 or over, has a long-term condition, is pregnant or has a weakened immune system, try to find somewhere else for them to stay for 14 days.

If you have to stay at home together, try to keep away from each other as much as possible.

Read our advice about staying at home.

CONTACT NHS 111 VIA THEIR ONLINE CORONAVIRUS SERVICE IF:

you cannot cope with your symptoms at home
your condition gets worse
your symptoms do not get better after 7 days

Only call 111 if you cannot access their help online.

Further information and details of how to self-isolate are available on nhs.uk.
