Information on COVID-19
The symptoms of COVID-19 are similar to common illnesses such as a cold or influenza. You may have one or more of the following:
- a new or worsening cough, fever (at least 38˚C), shortness of breath, a sore throat, sneezing and runny nose, temporary loss of smell.
- some people may have less typical symptoms such as only: fever, diarrhoea, headache, myalgia (muscle pain), nausea/vomiting, or confusion/irritability.
- the virus can be passed onto others before they know they have it – from up to two days before symptoms develop.
Call your medical centre if you’re feeling unwell or have any one of the COVID-19 symptoms. You can also call Healthline on 0800 358 5453. This is free and you can call any time, it is open all day every day. Someone will talk with you about your symptoms and arrange for you to be assessed. Healthline also has access to interpreters if you need one.
If you are 65 and over or have a health condition that meets certain criteria, you may be eligible for ant-viral medication that should be taken as early as possible in the infection cycle. Talk to your GP if you think you may meet this criteria.
