Staying home

• You may have coronavirus. You don’t need to be in hospital at this time, but it is important that you self-isolate.
• If your condition worsens please follow the information below and seek medical advice quickly.
• You should assume you have COVID-19 until a test shows you do not.
• Until then, you must self-isolate for at least 10 days along with anyone in your household as they may have coronavirus without showing any symptoms.
• For more information about self-isolation and self-care visit:

• You can apply for a test online at gov.uk, or call the Coronavirus Testing Contact Centre free on 119 from 7am to 11pm.
• You may be able to choose between going to a testing site or getting a home test kit.
• Do not wait – wherever possible the test should be done within eight days of showing symptoms.
