Symptoms of Covid-19 include a high temperature, a new and continuous cough, losing your sense of smell and taste, or a change to your sense of smell and taste.
If you believe you have the virus but cannot take time off work due to receiving Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) please contact a UVW caseworker by filling in our “Problems at Work” form which is available in both English and Spanish. The form can be accessed here.
Look up your local mutual aid group here, they can help with providing essentials and finding someone for you to talk to. You are not alone, your community is there to help!
