Symptoms, social distancing and isolation advice

You should stay at home for 14 days if you have either:

• a high temperature: this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
• a new, continuous cough: this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
• a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste: this means you've noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal

Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. You do not need to contact 111 to tell them you're staying at home.

You should only contact 111 if:

• you feel you cannot cope with your symptoms at home

• ​your condition gets worse

• your symptoms do not get better after 7 days

​If you have need to stay at home, follow the self-isolation advice below from Public Health Wales.
