Please make your way to your residence, stay indoors and call the NHS helpline on 111 for advice, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SYMPTOMS. 

Northern Ireland now has full access to the NHS 111 helpline service on coronavirus. Callers should press 1 when they are advised. This service is provided in Northern Ireland solely for coronavirus guidance and not for other conditions.
