Coronavirus ‘COVID-19’, is a new illness first identified in Wuhan City, China in December 2019. Coronavirus ‘COVID-19’ can affect your lungs and airways and can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, multiple organ failure, and even death. Older people, and people with pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease), are more likely to become severely ill.

During this time the UK Government has recommend the following to minimise the risk of contracting or spreading the Virus:
1. Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds and use hand sanitizer gel if soap and water is not available.

3. Avoid touching your face, especially when hands are not washed or sanitized
4. Avoid close contact with people who are unwell and maintain at least 3 feet distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
