Please be aware that the current Government Guidance is NOT to go to the GP or call NHS 24 if you believe you have the virus.
The guidance now asks only to contact either your GP or NHS 24 if symptoms are severe.
A free helpline has been set up for people who do not have symptoms but are looking for general advice: 0800 028 2816.
