Coronavirus Testing

  • Anyone who suspects that they might have contracted the Covid-19 virus can get a free NHS test, either apply online on GOV.UK or call 119 if you have problems using the internet.

The swab test will check if you have Covid-19, you can choose to take the test:

    • at a test site near you today and get your result tomorrow
    • with a home test kit

  • You can get a test:

    • for yourself, if you have coronavirus symptoms now (a high temperature, a new, continuous cough, or a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste)
    • for someone you live with, if they have symptoms
    • if you live in England and have been told to have a test before you go into hospital, for example, for surgery
    • if your local council asks you to get a test
  • Many private clinics are offering paid-for Covid-19 test, reasons for considering the test:
    • If you want to travel and require a PCR test to show to authorities in the country you are travelling to that you are not infected with Covid-19 
    • If you had an episode in the past which you think was Covid-19 to check your antibody levels
    • For your own peace of mind and reassurance
    • If you are looking to move to a different household or to create “social bubbles”
  • The free NHS test is only available to people referred via 119 line or NHS website so is not extended to people travelling or anyone not displaying symptoms who wants a test ‘just in case’. 

Travel to China

  • From 21 August 2020, Chinese and foreign passengers travelling from the UK to China (including direct flights or via a third country) and transit flights to China via the UK must present a coronavirus negative test certificate which has a green health code or health status statement with the “HS” logo. The airline will check the health code or health statement before boarding. It is recommended that passengers travelling to China carry a coronavirus negative test certificate for future reference.
