Coronavirus (Covid-19) – guidance for patients

 

Ilkley & Wharfedale Medical Practice and Ilkley Moor Medical Practice have jointly issued this guidance for patients regarding the Coronavirus (Covid-19).

 

If you develop any of the following symptoms 14 days after the day you return from abroad:

  • cough

  • difficulty in breathing

  • fever (a temperature of 38 degrees C or higher)

 

You should:

  • if it is an emergency, call 999 and tell them which country you have returned from in the last 14 days

  • if you are unwell, but it is not an emergency, call NHS 111 and tell them which country you have returned from in the last 14 days

 

Whilst you await further advice from NHS 111:

  • avoid contact with others

  • stay at home, do not attend work or school

  • do not travel while sick

  • cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when coughing or sneezing. Throw tissues in the bin

  • wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser if soap and water are not available

 

Ilkley & Wharfedale Medical Practice and Ilkley Moor Medical Practice request that patients DO NOT enter Springs Medical Centre and instead call NHS111.
