If you are in one of the most at risk groups outlined above, it’s important to get medical advice and help as soon as you feel unwell.

You can get help and advice from:

your local pharmacy – pharmacists can give clinical treatment advice for a range of minor illnesses and can tell you if you need to see another healthcare professional
your GP practice – you can see the right healthcare professional for your needs online, over the phone, or in person for an appointment if they think you need to
the Rotherham Health App – use the app to check symptoms, get advice and book appointments
NHS 111 – go to 111.nhs.uk or call 111 if you have an urgent medical problem and you’re not sure what to do

Check on older neighbours and relatives, and those with heart or breathing (respiratory) problems, to make sure they:

are safe and well
are warm enough, especially at night
have stocks of food and medicines so they do not need to go out during very cold weather

If you’re worried about a relative or elderly neighbour, contact your local council or call the Age UK helpline on 0800 678 1602 (8am to 7pm every day).
