The most common symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) are recent onset of:

New continuous cough and/or
High temperature
For most people, coronavirus (COVID-19) will be a mild infection

Following the Government's briefing yesterday, the stay at home advice is as follows:

• If you have symptoms of coronavirus infection (COVID-19), however mild, stay at home and do not leave your house for 7 days from when your symptoms started. This action will help protect others in your community whilst you are infectious
• Plan ahead and ask others for help to ensure that you can successfully stay at home
• Ask your employer, friends and family to help you to get the things you need to stay at home
• Stay at least 2 metres (about 3 steps) away from other people in your home whenever possible sleep alone, if that is possible
• Wash your hands regularly for 20 seconds, each time using soap and water
• Stay away from vulnerable individuals such as the elderly and those with underlying health conditions as much as possible
• You do not need to call NHS111 to go into self-isolation. If your symptoms worsen during home isolation or are no better after 7 days contact NHS 111 online. If you have no internet access, you should call NHS 111. For a medical emergency dial 999
