If I have coronavirus symptoms

Public Health England advice states that no matter how mild your symptoms may be, if you experience any:

• loss/change in sense of smell
• loss/change in sense of taste
• high temperature
• new, continuous cough

You MUST book a test.

Book your test now on the NHS website.

If you have symptoms you must avoid leaving home except when you go to get a test.

Self isolation

If you have symptoms of COVID-19 however mild, self-isolate for at least 10 days from when your symptoms started.

If you are not experiencing symptoms but have tested positive for COVID-19, self-isolate for at least 10 days, starting from the day the test was taken. If you develop symptoms during this isolation period, restart your 10-day isolation from the day you developed symptoms.

From 28 September, you could be fined if you do not stay at home and self-isolate following a positive test result for COVID-19 or if you are contacted by NHS Test and Trace and instructed to self-isolate.

You can find further information on self-isolating and the support available here.

There is also advice on the NHS website for:

• Checking if your child has symptoms
• Self-isolation and treating symptoms
• Social distancing and changes to everyday life
• Testing and tracing
• People at higher risk
