We thought it would be helpful to provide a simple summary of the steps you need to take if anyone in your household develops symptoms of coronavirus – which are:-
- 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)
- a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you’ve noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal
In simple terms, if you or anyone in your household develops these symptoms, you all need to self-isolate for 14 days and book a coronavirus test (as soon as possible). It would also be important to keep us informed.
Here is a summary of the more detailed Self-Isolation Procedures as well as how to get a coronavirus test. We are not the experts at all, but there is a lot of complicated information out there and wanted to help keep things as clear and simple as possible.
