COVID-19 testing

Coronavirus testing for people with symptoms

Use this service to order a test if you have at least one of these three coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms:

  • a high temperature
  • a new, continuous cough
  • you’ve lost your sense of smell or taste or it’s changed

This is called a PCR test.

You should not use this service if you’ve received a positive PCR test result in the last 90 days, unless you develop any new symptoms.

If you have symptoms, you and everyone you live with must immediately self-isolate.

Do not leave home until you get your test results, except to post a test kit or for a PCR test appointment.

 

Coronavirus testing for people with no symptoms

A pack of tests contains seven tests. You can order one pack per household each day.

You can only use this service if:

  • you do not have coronavirus symptoms
  • you live in England
  • you’re 18 or older
  • you have not been told to self-isolate
  • you cannot get tests from your work, school, college or university (ask them for rapid lateral flow tests)

Do not use a rapid lateral flow test if you have coronavirus symptoms. Get a PCR test and self-isolate.
