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. 

Stay at home if you have coronavirus symptoms

Stay at home for 7 days if you have either:

•  A high temperature – you feel hot to touch on your chest or back
• A new, continuous cough – this means you've started coughing repeatedly

·        

Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital.

How long to stay at home

• if you have symptoms, stay at home for 7 days
• if you live with other people, they should stay at home for 14 days from the day the first person got symptoms

If you live with someone who is 70 or over, has a long-term condition, is pregnant or has a weakened immune system, try to find somewhere else for them to stay for 14 days.

If you have to stay at home together, try to keep away from each other as much as possible.

Read our advice about staying at home.

You do not need to contact 111 to tell them you're staying at home.

Testing for coronavirus is not needed if you're staying at home.

Use the NHS 111 online coronavirus service if:

• you feel you cannot cope with your symptoms at home
• your condition gets worse
• your symptoms do not get better after 7 days

        Use the 111 coronavirus service

 Only call 111 if you cannot get help online.

Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital.

Dear patients.

TOTAL Triage

NHS advice is that all patients requesting an appointment should be “triaged”. This is the process of sorting patients so as to determine the order in which they will be treated.

We will be undertaking all care that can be done REMOTELY through remote means (e.g. telephone).

We must reduce footfall through the practice.

If your problem can be sorted without the need for a face to face appointment then this protects yourself, the general public and our staff.

Please cooperate with the advice given by our receptionists at the time you book your appointment.

Many thanks for your understanding.
