Coronavirus (COVID-19)

If you are worried or concerned about coronavirus DO NOT go to any CHoC centre, pharmacy, hospital or GP surgery. Call 111 if you need to speak to someone.

Use this service if:

  • you think you might have coronavirus
  • in the last 14 days you’ve been to a country or area with a high risk of coronavirus – see coronavirus advice for travellers
  • you’ve been in close contact with someone with coronavirus
Use the 111 coronavirus service
