Standard PCR testing
If you suspect that you might have Covid-19, whether due to mild symptoms or possible exposure to someone with the virus, we recommend that you book a PCR test to protect yourself and others. Following NHS guidance, you should self-isolate for 7 days from the onset of your symptoms. If you live with others, they should self-isolate for 14 days from when the first person in the household became ill.

Experiencing COVID symptoms:
If you are experiencing symptoms of Covid, there’s no need to contact NHS 111 or self-isolate immediately. However, if your symptoms persist after 14 days, then you should contact the NHS 111 online service or call them. If your condition worsens at any time, please call 111. If you experience difficulty breathing, you need to dial 999. Currently, the NHS is only offering tests to hospitalised patients, certain NHS frontline staff, and some key workers. This situation can leave many people unsure about the best steps to take for their health.
