Follow local government guidance
Coronavirus guidance is changing regularly as knowledge of the virus develops. It’s important to keep up to date with any restrictions in place or guidelines to follow in your area to minimise transmission and protect yourself and others.
The following links are to UK government websites where the latest coronavirus guidance will be published.
Long COVID
While a lot of people who have had coronavirus can feel better after a few days or weeks, many people report ongoing symptoms.
These symptoms can continue for weeks or months after recovering from the infection. The long-term effects of coronavirus are often called long COVID or post-COVID-19 syndrome[2].
Speak to your doctor if you’re experiencing ongoing symptoms after recovering from coronavirus.
It’s never been more important to make your health a priority.
Taking steps towards a healthier lifestyle and managing your own wellbeing can lead to long term benefits, beyond the coronavirus pandemic.
