WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19?

Symptoms of COVID-19 most frequently include:

WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOU THINK YOU MAY HAVE COVID-19?

If you have cold, flu or COVID-19 symptoms you should get a test. Please visit the Ministry of Health’s Covid-19 website for advice on how to get a test.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU TEST POSITIVE FOR COVID-19?

You will need to isolate for at least 7 days while you recover. Your 7 days start from Day 0 — the day your symptoms started or the day you got tested.

You do not need a test to leave isolation. If you are still sick, stay home until you are well and for 24 hours after your symptoms resolve.

If you need any advice on how to treat your symptoms or have worsening symptoms, talk to your healthcare provider or call Healthline on 0800 358 5453.

If it is an emergency and you need urgent medical help call 111 immediately.
