NHS Coronavirus (COVID-19) Advice

Note: This post is over 24 months old. Information may be outdated.

The NHS has put in place measures to ensure the safety of all patients and NHS staff while also ensuring services are available to the public as normal.

Stay at home if you have coronavirus symptoms
Please stay at home for 7 days if you have either:

  • a high temperature – you feel hot to touch on your chest or back
  • a new, continuous cough – this means you’ve started coughing repeatedly

Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital.

You do not need to contact 111 to tell them you’re staying at home.

Testing for coronavirus is not needed if you’re staying at home.

Read the advice about staying at home.

Use the NHS 111 Online Coronavirus Service if:

  • you feel you cannot cope with your symptoms at home
  • your condition gets worse
  • your symptoms do not get better after 7 days

 

Only call 111 if you cannot get help online.

East Lothian Council (ELC) is taking the possible outcomes associated with Coronavirus(COVID 19) very seriously. Although the risk remains low, ELC has established a multi-service resilience group, including Health and Social Care staff, to ensure the council is prepared and ready to respond, if the risk warrants such action. ELC remains part of the overall resilience package currently in place throughout Scotland.

ELC is aware of the many issues Coronavirus may bring and processes are being put in place to ensure critical services continue. Please follow national NHS guidance and encourage others to do so.
