Text message support for people with Covid-19 symptoms   

People self isolating with suspected coronavirus symptoms will get regular check-ins from a new NHS 111 online messaging service launched on 28 March.

Once individuals have been through the online assessment, daily texts will be sent to those who have registered their Covid-19 symptoms and left contact details.
