Frequently Asked Questions
What is Coronavirus (COVID-19)?
COVID-19 is a new illness that affects the lungs and airways. The most common symptoms include a continuous dry cough, shortness of breath and fever, however some patients may also experience a runny nose, sore throat and aches and pains. For the latest information on Coronavirus please visit the NHS Website
What actions should I be taking?
In line with advice from Public Health England, you should be doing the following:
-Wash your hands regularly using soap and hot water for at least 20 seconds. This means you should wash your hands every time you enter or re-enter a flat or house.
-Think also about when you cough or sneeze. This should be into a tissue which you should bin immediately. if you dont have a tissue cover your mouth and nose with your sleeve. Dont cough or sneeze into your hands.
-Use hand sanitizer gel if you can find any but washing hands regularly is just as effective.
-Try not to touch your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
-Try to avoid contact with anyone that may be ill.
-Do not share items that come into contact with your mouth.
-Avoid social gatherings. Lots of your normal places to go have now been closed. There is a reason for this which is to slow down any potential spread of the virus. Please use that same logic when going to the shops or if you are out and about.
-Think about distancing yourself from others. Try to stay at least 2 metres away from anyone else
