  • a fever or high temperature
  • or a change or loss of sense of taste or smell

Other Symptoms

In addition to the main three symptoms, local public health advise that a precautionary PCR test should be taken if an adult or child experience any wider symptoms which are new, persistent or unusual such as:

  • shortness of breath or wheezing
  • fatigue
  • loss of appetite
  • muscle ache or pain
  • sore throat and/or hoarseness
  • persistent headache
  • runny or blocked nose
  • nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea
