A man who became infected with coronavirus after returning from a skiing trip in northern Italy last weekend has told Radio 4's Broadcasting House of the"very strange chills" he experienced after developing symptoms.
"And there were very strange chills that seemed to spread all around the surface of your body, very quickly, and then reverberate around - it's a very strange feeling," he said. The man said he was now"really well recovered" but would have to remain in self-quarantine until he was told by health professionals he could leave.An extra 500 staff have been hired for the NHS 111 service to cope with coronavirus calls
But he said the health service was under-resourced and could still find itself having to make"difficult choices", postponing planned operations to cope with emergencies and epidemic cases.
