Concerned about Coronavirus?

Hertfordshire’s top doctors team up to provide COVID-19 advice

Hertfordshire’s lead GPs – Dr Prag Moodley (pictured) and Dr Nicolas Small – have teamed up to provide answers for some common dilemmas facing people concerned about COVID-19.

Subjects tackled include advice on how to tell the difference between the symptoms of a cold and COVID-19, what to do if you can’t get a test, and sources of support and help if you have symptoms or need to self-isolate.

Dr Nicolas Small, the lead GP for Herts Valleys CCG said: ‘We know that people want to do the right thing to protect their own families and help keep workplaces, businesses, schools and nurseries open for everyone. Problems with getting a test have been well publicised and although more lab capacity is coming this will take a few weeks. To help the public, we have brought together some practical advice.’

Dr Prag Moodley, the lead GP for East and North Hertfordshire CCG added: ‘As the father of school-aged children and a GP looking after elderly and vulnerable patients, I understand the anxiety that the growing number of coronavirus cases is causing. We hope that these questions and answers can give some clarity to anyone who is worried or confused.’

The comprehensive, easy-to-read information will appear on the websites of local health organisations, be promoted on social media and will be shared with organisations across the county. The advice will be updated as required.
