NHS England has published a briefing on coronavirus for the primary care sector, which can be found below in the "further information" section.
The advice to the public is to call NHS 111 now if they have been:
- To Wuhan or Hubei Province in China in the last 14 days (even if they do not have symptoms).
- To other parts of China, including Macau and Hong Kong, in the last 14 days and have a cough, high temperature or shortness of breath (even if it's mild).
- To Thailand, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Republic of Korea or Malaysia in the last 14 days and have a cough, high temperature or shortness of breath (even if it's mild).
- In close contact with someone with confirmed coronavirus.
Anyone who meets the above criteria is advised not to go to a GP surgery, community pharmacy or hospital. Instead they should call NHS 111, stay indoors and avoid close contact with other people.
