# How to use Healthily COVID-19 risk assessment tool safely

Before you get started, take a moment to read this page. It explains all you need to know about how this tool can help you.

If you're generally healthy and don’t have an ongoing or rare medical condition, our risk assessment tool can give you the safe COVID-19 information you need to help you decide on the best next steps for you.

While we'll suggest some next steps you can take, you should only act on these if you think it’s the best action for you. Always speak to a doctor if you’re in doubt or if your symptoms get worse or don’t improve. And if your symptoms feel serious, call the emergency services.

Always follow local guidelines on what you should and shouldn't do to stay safe during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Healthily isn't liable for any decision, act or omission you make.

The COVID-19 risk assessment tool shouldn't be used to get health information for anyone under 16, pregnant women, people with a weakened immune system (e.g. because of a health condition or medication), people with complex or ongoing conditions, or anyone who works, volunteers or lives in a healthcare or long-term care facility (e.g a nursing home, detention centre or homeless shelter).

For more information read the section "Our liability and disclaimer of waranties" in our [Terms of Service](/terms).

Your health is important to us, so before you start we need to make sure you understand how the service can help you.
