If you need medical help, please use the NHS 111 website. Use the 111 online coronavirus service if you have either:
a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual). These are the main symptoms of coronavirus. This will link to a Coronavirus symptom checker. If you are concerned about a baby or child please see the NHS advice here. Only call 111 if you cannot get help online.
Government guidelines on what you can and can’t do during the lock-down can be found here.
