Quote (I have bonded the part that I certainly hadn't seen before):
"Whilst coronavirus is infectious to children it is rarely serious. If your child is unwell it is likely to be a non-coronavirus illness, rather than coronavirus itself.

Whilst it is extremely important to follow Government advice to stay at home during this period, it can be confusing to know what to do when your child is unwell or injured.

Remember that NHS 111, GPs and hospitals are still providing the same safe care that they have always done."

Then it divides listed symptoms into:
• go straight to A&E
• ring GP or 111, unless you've waited over 4 hours for them to call you back, or
• manage symptoms at home
