Mental Health
We are all having to change the way we live by staying home and maybe not being able to see the people we care about. This might feel strange, uncomfortable and stressful. There is lots of support available to help us through this.
Please see the links below for further support:

If you have a long term health condition, your GP can give you specific advice. Below are links to sites with general information on how you can look after yourself during the outbreak if you have a long term condition.
Pregnancy
Pregnant women do not appear to be more severely unwell if they develop coronavirus than the general population. As this is a new virus, how it may affect you is not yet clear. It is expected the large majority of pregnant women will experience only mild or moderate cold/flu like symptoms.
