all travellers who develop relevant symptoms, however mild, within 14 days of returning from mainland China, should self-isolate at home immediately and call NHS 111. 

all travellers from Wuhan and Hubei Province should self-isolate for 14 days, even if they do not have symptoms, due to the increased risk from that area

You should look for any of the following symptoms in the 14 days after the day you return from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Macau, Malaysia, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, or Thailand:

• cough
• difficulty in breathing
• fever (a temperature of 38 degrees C or higher)

If you have any of these symptoms, you should:

• if it is an emergency, call 999 and tell them which country you have returned from in the last 14 days
• if you are unwell, but it is not an emergency, call NHS 111 and tell them which country you have returned from in the last 14 days

Whilst you await further advice from NHS 111:

• avoid contact with others
• stay at home, do not attend work or school
• do not travel while sick
• cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when coughing or sneezing. Throw tissues in the bin
• wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser if soap and water are not available
