Are you feeling a bit unwell? Get a test!

In addition to the three classic Covid-19 symptoms (temperature, cough or change/loss of taste or smell), we're encouraging people to get tested as a precaution if they have the following symptoms:

• headaches
• aches and pains
• feeling very tired for no good reason
• sore throat
• runny nose
• sneezing
• tummy ache in children.

Please - if you feel unwell, get a test. It could be Covid-19 and identifying if you have the virus will help stop it from spreading to others.
