Taking the right Covid-19 test protects us all 

There are TWO different types of Covid-19 tests, which test you take usually
depends on whether or not you have symptoms.

It’s really important that people understand the difference between the two types of tests and when they should be taking them. Testing correctly and regularly will make sure we are keeping infection levels low and our communities safe.

👇 Check out this poster which explains the key differences between the two tests. 

It's important that you still get tested for coronavirus even after you have received both doses of the vaccine. Two types of test are available and it is important you take the right one:

• Covid-19 symptoms or feeling unwell? Isolate immediately and book a test.
• If you have no symptoms, twice weekly rapid Covid-19 tests help detect and contain asymptomatic cases.

Reminders:

• Download the NHS Covid-19 app and make sure to check in at gyms, hospitality and other venues to help stop the spread. 
• If someone in your household tests positive for Covid-19 or you are returning from abroad, it's important to self-isolate. Review the practical advice to help you stay at home safely.
