Coronavirus - A New Infection has been detected in Wuhan, China

If you have any concerns that you may have been exposed to or become infected with the novel coronavirus, please follow the links below which will tell you what you should do based on your particular circumstances:

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/

https://111.nhs.uk/service/covid-19

Please DO NOT attend the Hospital Emergency Department or Surgery.

All travellers who develop relevant symptoms, however mild, within 14 days of returning from mainland China, should self-isolate at home immediately and call NHS 111.  

All travellers from Wuhan and Hubei Province should self-isolate for 14 days, even if they do not have symptoms, due to the increased risk from that area 

Ordering Medication

At this time of severe NHS pressure, we request that you do NOT make early prescription requests, as these will be refused. There is no medicine shortage but if everyone orders early, there will be. Due to work pressures we may not be able to reply to every “early” request but you can assume it has been declined, in line with NHS policy, to preserve medication supplies for everyone.
