Stay Home and Protect The NHS
As part of the NHS myself, I can’t stress enough the importance of staying home so that we can reduce the spread of Covid -19 save lives and protect our NHS.
The latest government advice is as follows (03.04.20)
Stay at home
- *Only go outside for food, health reasons or work (but only if you cannot work from home).
- *If you go out, stay 2 metres (6ft) away from other people at all times.
- *Wash your hands as soon as you get home.
- *Do not meet others, even friends or family.

If anyone in your household has a continuous cough or a high temperature, then you must stay home for the advised period.
From a gastroenterologist point of view, the other symptoms of Covid 19 that might be present include;
- Loss of smell
- Loss of taste
- Loss of appetite
- Sickness Diarrhea
If you suspect that you have Covid 19 you must not go to your GP and you must not leave your home. If you are unable to cope with your symptoms, then you should call 111.
Stay Home and Stay Safe.
