Coronavirus – looking after yourself and others
Throughout the Coronavirus outbreak, it is everyone’s responsibility to help stop the spread of the virus and reduce the risk to other people, particularly our most vulnerable residents.
Self-isolation guidance if you have symptoms
The government has published guidance regarding staying at home if you, or anyone in your household has symptoms of coronavirus.
The most common symptoms are recent onset of any of the following:

For most people, coronavirus will be a mild illness. However, if you have any of the symptoms above you should self-isolate at home. Symptoms can be checked using NHS 111 online.
Above all, if you feel unwell, get tested
If you are displaying any coronavirus symptoms or just generally don't feel well, book to get tested. You can get a test testing kit or arrange a booking at a mobile testing unit.
