One way to check your temperature is to use a digital thermometer. You can buy these from supermarkets and pharmacies.
To use a digital thermometer:
Information:You can also use a digital thermometer in your armpit. Make sure you keep your arm tight against your body until the thermometer beeps or flashes.
If you use a digital ear thermometer, follow the instructions that come with it.
You usually need to gently pull your ear up and back before putting the thermometer in your ear. This helps you get a more accurate temperature.
Do not use a glass thermometer or a forehead strip.
Glass thermometers can be dangerous and forehead strips are not accurate.
You can often still tell if you have a high temperature even if you do not have a thermometer.
Touch your chest and back. If they feel hotter than usual, you may have a high temperature. You may also have other symptoms such as feeling shivery (chills).
Touching your forehead is not a very accurate way of checking your temperature.
Normal body temperature is different for everyone and changes during the day.
A temperature of 38C or more is usually considered a high temperature (fever).
It’s not always easy to take a temperature accurately.
If you feel hot or shivery, you may have a high temperature even if a thermometer says your temperature is below 38C.
If you have a high temperature, it could be coronavirus.
To protect others, do not go to places like a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. Stay at home.
