To help reduce the risk of picking up or spreading infections it’s important we regularly wash our hands, catch coughs and sneezes using a tissue and stay away from others if we feel unwell.

The 111 service is VERY busy which means a prolonged wait for calls to be answered. Some mobile providers disconnect calls due to network capacity demand. Here's what you can do to help yourself, save time and help us care for those in the most need first 🧵

Our 111 service is very busy today with almost 6000 calls already. Staff are working hard to help as many people as possible but it may take longer than usual to answer calls. Thanks to everyone for their patience.
Lots of great advice here nhsinform.scot/self-help-gui…
