Coronavirus Symptoms

The most important symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) are recent onset of any of the following:

• a new continuous cough
• a high temperature
• a loss of, or change in, your normal sense of taste or smell (anosmia)

For most people, COVID-19 will be a mild illness. However, if your child has any of the symptoms above they must stay at home in accordance with the Government guidelines.

NHS Advice App

As we head into winter and urgent care is at a higher demand, the NHS have asked us to circulate the this poster (click HERE to download).

By working with you they can:

• Support you to make an informed choice regarding healthcare advice and services
• Share information on the importance of reducing the spread of illnesses and infections:
  • Facilitating access to high quality health advice, and treatment, as quickly as possible – to support best possible outcomes
  • Reducing attendances to A&E departments which could be supported elsewhere
  • Reducing the overall costs of providing urgent care services to our local population to enable NHS funding to support alternative health services
