The NHS in England and Public Health England (PHE) are extremely well prepared for
outbreaks of new infectious diseases. The NHS has put in place measures to ensure
the safety of all patients and NHS staff while also ensuring services are available to
the public as normal.
The risk to the general public is moderate. If you have arrived back to the UK from
mainland China, Thailand, Japan, Republic of Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan,
Singapore, Malaysia or Macau within 14 days, follow the specific advice for returning
travellers.
Call 111 now if you've been:
• to Wuhan or Hubei Province in China in the last 14 days (even if you do
not have symptoms)
• to other parts of China, including Macau and Hong Kong, in the last 14
days and have a cough, high temperature or shortness of breath (even if
it's mild)
• to Thailand, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Republic of Korea or Malaysia in
the last 14 days and have a cough, high temperature or shortness of
breath (even if it's mild)
• in close contact with someone with confirmed Coronavirus
Do not go to a GP surgery, community pharmacy or hospital. Call 111, stay
indoors and avoid close contact with other people.
