About Covid-19
Since first being identified as a new coronavirus strain in patients from the city of Wuhan in Hubei province, China, late last year, covid-19 has spread around the globe.
The virus can cause pneumonia. Those who have fallen ill are reported to suffer coughs, fever and breathing difficulties. You can find out more about the symptoms and the latest government guidance here.
There are things you can do to protect yourself and slow the spread of the virus. Chief among them are regularly washing your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water, and catching coughs and sneezes in tissues.
