Testing for people with symptoms
If you have symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19), or have got a positive result from a rapid Lateral Flow test, you should get a PCR test to check if you have the virus. You can request a test online via the NHS website.
You can book a home test or a test at a centre.
Local testing centres (for PCR tests which are either for people with symptoms or who need a confirmatory tests following a positive test using a rapid / LFD home kit) are available through the online booking system.
Test availability is refreshed on the website throughout the day, if tests are not available near you, please try again later.
You can read more about testing on the NHS website.
If you test positive for coronavirus the NHS Test and Trace service will contact you to ask who you have been in close contact with. This is a critical part of our approach to controlling the spread of the virus because it enables the Test and Trace service to warn people they too may have the virus.
