You can find out more about how to take a test through the NHS website here.

If you are unable to take a test or test positive, you must self-isolate for 10 days from when the symptoms began or from the day you took the test.

If you're concerned about your symptoms and need medical advice, use the NHS 111 online coronavirus service.

Please notify your Reception Team by phone or email to let us know you are self-isolating so we can support you through this process.
