Supporting your recovery after COVID-19
As you know I have just recovered from the virus and I am aware some carers and the people care for/loved ones are also in recovery.
Below is information and advice on how to help yourself or others on a wide range of symptoms or you can click on link https://www.yourcovidrecovery.nhs.uk/
Information for family, friends, and carers
Supporting your family member, relative or friend following their COVID illness can be challenging.
You may be providing emotional and physical help in addition to all your other responsibilities.
This can be a very stressful time for you both and we hope the information within the website will give you reassurance and support during their recovery
Remember the basics to help tackle Covid-19
In addition to the measures that come with being in a high risk area, we must continue to take every step we can to stay safe:
- Wash your hands regularly, for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water is not available, then use hand sanitiser.
- Wear a face covering on public transport, in shops and other enclosed areas, or anywhere it is difficult to socially distance.
- Keep a safe distance from other people outside your household (two metres where possible).
- Book a free test if you’re experiencing any symptoms of Covid-19 and stay at home until you get your result.
- Stay at home if you test positive for 10 days from when symptoms started. This includes while symptomatic and waiting to arrange a test.
- Self-isolate if you’re identified as a close or recent contact of someone who has tested positive through NHS Test and Trace.
