What to do if you have coronavirus (COVID19) or symptoms of COVID19

Try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people if you:

• have any symptoms of COVID-19, and have a high temperature or you do not feel well enough to go to work or do your normal activities
• have tested positive for COVID-19 – this means it's very likely you have the virus

You should avoid being in close contact with people at higher risk from COVID-19.

There's further advice if you're eligible for COVID-19 treatments.
