urgent medical help by telephone. The 11 signs to look out for are: 1. You are noticeably breathless and you can do very little. 2. You may be breathless, even when sitting still. 3. You may
be unable to complete a sentence when speaking. 4. You may feel you are having to work hard to breathe. 5. Your chest, tummy or back hurts when you breathe. 6. Your temperature is high. 7.
Your chest is tight, as if you can’t expand it properly. 8. You can’t keep up with your breathing, as if you had just sprinted hard (except you haven’t). 9. You are not eating or drinking
normally. 10. You can’t read or watch TV be cause you are too focused on breathing or feel too unwell. 11. Others think you are confused. READ MORE: Coronavirus symptoms: The tell-tale sign
