Please see below regarding general health recommendations:

What to do if you become unwell and are concerned you may have coronavirus:

Coronavirus presents as a mild cold like illness in the majority of people. If you have known exposure or have travelled to an area of high or moderate risk, and have a fever, shortness of breath, or flu like symptoms (including cough, sore throat, fatigue) or any other concerns please isolate yourself and phone your GP or Hospital Emergency Department and notify them prior to attending a review.

How to minimise risk:

Good hand hygiene is likely, the single most effective method for reducing the risk of spread of viral illness.

Good hand hygiene should include:
· Washing hands and/or use of hand sanitiser
· Avoid touching your face, particularly eyes, nose and mouth, with unwashed hands
· Cough or sneeze into a tissue (where possible) and wash your hands afterwards
· Avoid close contact with others, such as touching or shaking hands
· Clean surfaces with hand sanitiser, antibacterial wipes or a cleaning spray
