Big Four Mobile Firms Offer Free NHS Coronavirus Info Online
Vodafone, EE, O2, and Three are pulling out all the stops to fight coronavirus misinformation. They’ve promised to give customers free access to the latest NHS health info without using up data or mobile credit.
Which NHS Sites Are Free to Access?
- nhs.uk
- 111.nhs.uk
- wales.nhs.uk
- nhsinform.scot
- nidirect.gov.uk
- publichealth.hscni.net
The move means anyone can check verified, up-to-date advice straight from the NHS, no strings attached.
Stay Safe, Stay Informed
The NHS urges those with mild coronavirus symptoms to head to nhs.uk/coronavirus for guidance. The key advice? Wash your hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds and self-isolate if you experience a high temperature or a persistent cough.
Government Backs Effort to Stop Misinformation
“It is vital everybody can access the latest verified public health advice on the NHS website when they need to,” said Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. “I’m delighted mobile companies will offer free data to browse nhs.uk. This will help everyone avoid dangerous misinformation without paying data charges.”
Matthew Gould, NHSX chief, chimed in: “This is a helpful step by mobile firms to give everyone free access to the latest NHS info online. It will help spread NHS guidance and cut through the noise of misinformation.”
With free, reliable health info at your fingertips, the public can stay smarter and safer during the outbreak.
