CORONAVIRUS INFORMATION

The symptoms of coronavirus are:

• a cough
• a high temperature
• shortness of breath

The symptoms are similar to other illnesses that are much more common, such as cold and flu and it does not necessarily mean you have the illness.
​
Like the common cold, coronavirus infection usually occurs through close contact with a person with novel coronavirus via cough and sneezes or hand contact. A person can also catch the virus by touching contaminated surfaces if they do not wash their hands.
 
Testing of suspected coronavirus cases is carried out in line with strict guidelines. This means that suspected cases are kept in isolation, away from public areas of GP surgeries, pharmacies and hospitals and returned home also in isolation. 
 


Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. Call 111 if you need to speak to someone.


However you can contact one of our doctor through the docly app, who will be able to assist you. Make sure you have an account if not then please create one. https://www.docly.uk/
