Health advice

Date Published: 26 February 2020

​There has been widespread media coverage of Covid-19 (Coronavirus) around the globe in recent weeks. There have been no confirmed cases in Scotland.

We have created a dedicated page from which you can find links to national advice and read a summary of the position. If you are asked by a colleague for advice, please follow the national guidance and do not speculate or give personal opinion. The page is here, and is also available via the Arcadia homepage. https://aberdeenshire.sharepoint.com/sites/Arcadia/services/Pages/Covid-19%20guidance.aspx  

It may be useful for you to know where to go for advice, the best way to stay safe is to stay informed. NHS 24 have set up a helpline which you can call for free on 0800 028 2816.
