Coronavirus 

What to do if you have symptoms

Stay at home for 7 days if you have either:

• a high temperature
• a new continuous cough

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

This will help to protect others in your community while you are infectious.

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

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

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

Even if you have not travelled and you are showing symptoms please follow this advice

DO NOT VISIT THE SURGERY  

Visit 111.nhs.uk and follow instructions

For patients concerned that they may have coronavirus or may have come into contact with someone who has, the NHS 111 online service has created coronavirus pages that tell patients what they should do based on their particular circumstances.  These can be accessed at: https://111.nhs.uk/service/covid-19
