· a high temperature – you feel hot to touch on your chest or back
· a new, continuous cough – this means you've started coughing repeatedly

You do not need to contact 111 to tell them you're staying at home.
Testing for coronavirus is not needed if you're staying at home.
How long to stay at home
· if you have symptoms, stay at home for 7 days
