Current government advice is that people who suffer mild symptoms of coronavirus, or live with someone who does, should stay at home and self-isolate. They will not be tested.
If you live on your own, you should self-isolate for seven days, but if you live with others, they should all self-isolate for 14 days.
People are also being urged to follow social distancing measures - such working from home where possible; avoiding mass gatherings; and avoiding pubs, clubs and theatres and all unnecessary travel.
