NHS asks people to share their coronavirus symptoms to help others
Written by admin on Friday 17th April 2020
The government has launched a coronavirus status checker that will help the NHS coordinate its response and build up additional data on the COVID-19 outbreak
People with potential coronavirus symptoms are now being asked to complete the 'status checker' and answer a short series of questions which will tell the NHS about their experience.
It is open to anyone in the UK to use on the NHS website and in its initial phase the NHS is particularly keen for anyone who thinks they may be displaying potential coronavirus symptoms, no matter how mild, to complete it.
The tool is live now and people can complete the survey either for themselves or on behalf of someone else with their permission.
It asks them:
- why they are staying at home
- to choose from a series of options to describe how they are feeling
- whether they have any other health problems
- their date of birth
- their postcode
- how many people are living in their home.
The survey can be accessed on the NHS website at:
