What should you do if you have symptoms?

  • if you have symptoms and have not had a test, stay at home and get a test as soon as possible
  • if you are getting a test because you have symptoms, you and anyone you live with must self-isolate until you get your result
    • this also applies to anyone in your support bubble
  • you must also self-isolate if you cannot get a test
