COVID-19 is a new type of coronavirus that causes illness in people by affecting their lungs and therefore their breathing.
The most common symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) are a new, continuous cough, a high temperature (over 37.8 degrees) or loss of, or change in, your normal sense of taste or smell (anosmia).
For most people, coronavirus (COVID-19) will be a mild infection. However, sometimes it can be severe or in some cases, fatal.
It can be spread from person to person by coughing, sneezing or touching surfaces or areas of skin that have been contaminated by the virus.
Fortunately, vaccinations have been discovered that can reduce the chances of you catching and spreading coronavirus, and reduce the risk of serious illness and death caused by the virus. Further information regarding who is eligible for the vaccine and how they can be booked can be found found on the NHS COVID-19 Vaccination Page.
There are things you can do to help stop viruses like coronavirus spreading.
The storybook 'My Back to School Bubble' has been created with the input from a network of teachers, parents and public health professionals and aims to help children understand the new protective measures that may be in place at their school, in an age-appropriate way.
The e-Book is a joint venture with NABU, a global non-profit organisation who are passionate about creating stories for children, that are inclusive for all. 'My Back to School Bubble' adds to NABU's existing collection of stories addressing COVID-19, this time exploring the changing school environment.
These videos have been developed by Little Journey, and support NHS Test and Trace.
