Hubby phones up his Doctors about his High Temperature.

They advise him to have a Covid Test.

While he is booking his test online to go to the near-by walk in centre.

His boss had left a "nice" message on his phone, on why he hasn't come into work, and not to think about working from home and get into the office now!

I phoned up my doctors about my 6 week cough I have got.

The Doctor phoned me back and advised me to have Covid Test.

I went on-line to book a test at the nearby walk in centre.
