Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The NHS has put in place measures to protect patients, our community and NHS staff while ensuring as many services as possible are available to the public.

If you have symptoms associated with coronavirus including a new continuous cough, loss of smell and taste or a high temperature, you are advised to stay at home for 7 days.

Please do not book a GP appointment or attend your GP practice.

If you have symptoms you need to contact NHS 111 who have an online coronavirus service that can tell you if you need further medical help, provide advice or assist with booking a test. If you have a test and the result is positive you may be requested to provide information on who you have recently been in contact with in order for track and trace to take place. Only call 111 direct if you are advised to do so by the online service or you cannot go online.

If you live with other people, they should stay at home for at least 14 days, to avoid spreading the infection outside the home. After 14 days, anyone you live with who does not have symptoms can return to their normal routine.

But, if anyone in your home gets symptoms, they should stay at home for 7 days from the day their symptoms start. Even if it means they're at home for longer than 14 days. The most up-to-date public guidance is always online at www.nhs.uk/coronavirus
