The Junta de Andalucía regional government has released a protocol for individuals who suspect they have coronavirus.

Those experiencing symptoms (coughing, fever and shortness of breath) are advised to self-isolate at home to avoid spreading the virus.

The Junta then recommends that self-isolated individuals dial 112 to book a test for the virus (either blood tests or swabs or mucus samples from patients' nose, throat or lungs). Calls to this number can be handled in English.

It is also recommended that while displaying symptoms, potential carriers should keep a distance from those around them if they leave isolation.

The Servicio Andaluz de Salud's (SAS) information body Salud Responde offers health advice (in various languages) on the phone (955 545 060), by email (saludresponde@juntadeandalucia.es) or through the Salud Responde App.
