PUBLIC INFORMATION PAGES FROM CAMDEN COUNCIL

NHS Test and Trace prevents further spread of coronavirus by:

• allowing people with coronavirus symptoms to get tested

• tracing the recent close contacts of people who test positive so that they can also self-isolate.

If you develop coronavirus symptoms, self-isolate for 7 days and organise a test – visit  nhs.uk/ask-for-a-coronavirus-test or phone 119.

Self-isolating means not leaving your home at all. If you live with others who have symptoms, you’ll need to self-isolate for 14 days from the day the first person started having symptoms.

You may be able to stop earlier than 14 days if everyone in your household with symptoms gets a negative test result.

If you have had close recent contact with someone who has coronavirus, you must self-isolate if the NHS Test and Trace service advises you to do so. If you are worried about being able to self-isolate, support is available from the Council – phone 020 7974 4444 (option 9).

Visit nhs.uk/coronavirus for advice on symptoms, testing and self-isolation. If you’re worried about your health or coronavirus symptoms call NHS 111.
