As you will have seen in the news, cases are now widespread in China and have been diagnosed outside China, although to date, all cases have a link to Wuhan and there is no confirmed cases in the UK.

Symptoms to look out for:
– Cough
– Runny Nose
– Sore Throat
– Fever
– Difficulty Breathing

If you have been to the Wuhan region recently and are concerned about problems with breathing, speak with a healthcare professional. The virus appears to develop very quickly – within days rather than weeks – and so travellers who visited China several weeks ago and have not had symptoms should not worry.

The current advice is: If you have visited Wuhan in the last 14 days, you should stay indoors and avoid contact with others where possible, and call NHS 111 informing them of your symptoms and your recent travel to the city.
