Where to get a test in Brent

 There are lots of ways to get tested in Brent, and the test you take depends on whether or not you have COVID-19 symptoms.

If you have symptoms, you will need a PCR test. If you do not have symptoms, you should regularly take LFT tests.

Ways to get tested include visiting a testing centre, visiting a pharmacy, or taking a test at home. One in three people who have COVID-19 do not show symptoms, so regular testing lessens the chance of spreading the virus without realising it.

New self-isolation rules mean that anyone in contact with people who have tested positive for Covid-19 will now be required to take daily tests. Only those who test positive will then be required to isolate. The new measures mean that anyone who is a close contact with a positive Covid case can take daily lateral flow tests, instead of being subjected to the ten-day self-isolation period that was previously required.
