Things you can do to help:

> Phone relatives and friends to make sure they are okay.
> Do not buy more than what you need at the supermarket, and if you are able to pick up a few items for the local food bank, please do.
> Follow latest government advice on social distancing and try to limit external contact as much as possible.
> If you need to check your symptoms, please refer to https://www.nhsinform.scot/ for latest advice, this frees up NHS24 who are receiving an unprecedented number of calls at this time.
