Covid-19

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a new illness that can affect your lungs and airways. It’s caused by a virus called coronavirus.

As we see the number of people infected with COVID-19 increase, the advice to people from the government can expect to change.

To keep up-to-date with the latest guidance, please refer to the Public Health England’s website.

Anyone concerned that they have contracted the virus should isolate as detailed in the guidance provided by the Government.

Only if symptoms become worse should people use the NHS 111 service. Please ensure the phone service is readily available to those who need it, where possible people should use the 111 website rather than calling.
