  • YOU DO NOT need to go to your doctor’s surgery, pharmacy or hospital.
  • YOU DO NOT need to phone 111 to tell them about your symptoms or that you are self-isolating.
  • YOU DO NOT need to be tested if you are staying at home. It’s extremely important you stay at home to stop the spread of the virus.
