Due to lab testing reaching national capacity, there may be a delay when trying to book a Coronavirus test, or receiving the result. If you do not have symptoms, do not book a test. To help ensure everyone who really needs a test can get one, please only book a test if you have symptoms. You can book a test by calling 119 or online at nhs.uk/coronavirus.
