Face coverings in health care settings and GP services at Chelford
While covid restrictions will end in many settings in England from Monday, we ask for support from patients in continuing to wear face masks, respect social distancing and the continued systems we have put in place at Chelford Surgery.
We at Chelford Surgery are proud of how, as a community, we have handled this dreadful pandemic and continued to look after each other and all our families to minimise the risk of infection.
In our area we have a high proportion of vulnerable patients due to our practice demographics and it is important we continue to provide a safe process for patients to attend the practice for care and medication.
We must also stress how important it is that we endeavour to keep staff safe, so as to prevent avoidable situations that could potentially lead to staff sickness and serious disruptions to providing necessary GP services.
Covid-19 and help with your symptoms
More than one million people around the world are known to have recovered from coronavirus, according to Johns Hopkins University. But the road back to full health is not the same for everyone.
Recovery time will depend on how sick you became in the first place. Some people will shrug off the illness quickly, but for others it could leave lasting problems.
What if I have only mild symptoms?
Most people who get Covid-19 will develop only the main symptoms – a cough or fever. But they could experience body aches, fatigue, sore throat and headache.
The cough is initially dry, but some people will eventually start coughing up mucus containing dead lung cells killed by the virus.
These symptoms are treated with bed rest, plenty of fluids and pain relief such as paracetamol.
