Coronavirus: NHS 111 has 1.7 million queries in 15 days

In the past 15 days, NHS 111 has responded to more than 1.7 million inquiries from people concerned they might have symptoms of coronavirus.

About 1.5 million were web-based assessments, while the rest were calls to the 111 phone number or 999. People who think they have symptoms - a fever or a new, continuous cough - should use the online service and call only if they cannot get help online.And the numbers do not represent individual people - it is possible some have sought help more than once or via various channels.

Meanwhile, the government faces growing criticism over a lack of testing for front-line staff who could return to work if found clear of the virus.
