Covid-19 Testing
To book a Covid-19 test click here. If you cannot get a test many NHS hospitals across the UK especially if you are working regular will facilitate you getting tested as healthcare workers have priority for being tested.
Stay at home if you have symptoms
If you’re getting a test because you have symptoms, you and anyone you live with must self-isolate until you get your result. This also applies to anyone in your support bubble (where someone who lives alone or just with their children).
What the test involves
The test involves taking a swab of the inside of your nose and the back of your throat, using a long cotton bud. You can do the swab yourself (if you are aged 12 or over) or someone can do it for you. Parents or guardians have to swab test children aged 11 or under.
