With the ongoing Coronavirus situation, some pharmacies are being overwhelmed so the public is being asked to help by only calling pharmacies where appropriate.
In order to ease that pressure and to get the necessary advice as quickly as possible, people are being asked not to visit pharmacies (or GPs) unless urgent.
The latest guidance is:
- Check NHS 111 online for COVID queries
- NHS Choices for other health advice.
Residents are also being requested to only telephone in the following circumstances
- NHS 111 if serious COVID symptoms
- 999 for emergencies
- local GP or pharmacies for advice.
Further detail and advice is available at the government website.
