COVID

information

Coronavirus, also called COVID-19, is part of a family of viruses that includes the common cold and more serious respiratory illnesses such as SARS. It affects your lungs and airways. For many people, it causes mild symptoms, while for others it can be much more serious and require hospital treatment.

COVID is an extremely virulent disease that can cause no symptoms to a wide range of symptoms.

The symptoms can include:

A high temperature or shivering (chills) – a high temperature 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
A loss or change to your sense of smell or taste
Shortness of breath
Feeling tired or exhausted
An aching body
A headache
A sore throat
A blocked or runny nose
Loss of appetite
Diarrhoea
Feeling sick or being sick
Severe illness that requires hospitalisation

Those aged 5 years and over who have a weakened immune system

If you think you have COVID:

Try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people if you or your child have symptoms and either:

Have a high temperature
Do not feel well enough to go to work, school, childcare, or do your normal activities

You can go back to your normal activities when you feel better or do not have a high temperature. If your child has mild symptoms such as a runny nose, sore throat or mild cough, and they feel well enough, they can go to school or childcare

You are no longer required to do a COVID-19 rapid lateral flow test if you have symptoms. However advice from the NHS is if you or your child have tested positive for COVID-19:

Try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for a further 3 days after your positive test if you are under 18 years
Try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for a further 5 days after your positive test if you are 18 or over
Avoid meeting people who are more likely to get seriously ill from viruses, such as people with a weakened immune system, for a further 10 days after your positive test
