I expect Vasculitis UK will comment on this soon.

There is also a longer list of symptoms now (for which those at higher risk can take a test on the NHS):

“Symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) in adults can include:

* a high temperature or shivering (chills) – a high temperature means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)

* a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours

* a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste

* shortness of breath

* feeling tired or exhausted

* an aching body

* a headache

* a sore throat

* a blocked or runny nose

* loss of appetite

* diarrhoea

* feeling sick or being sick

The symptoms are very similar to symptoms of other illnesses, such as colds and flu”
