About Covid-19 testing

Following updated guidance, NHS lateral flow tests for COVID-19 are no longer free for most people. However, some pharmacies and retailers do sell COVID-19 tests. 

You may still be able to get free COVID-19 rapid lateral flow tests from the NHS if you:

  • have a health condition which means you're eligible for COVID-19 treatment
  • work in healthcare or in a hospice

What to do if you have Covid-19

If you think you might have COVID-19, read the government guidance on what symptoms to look out for and what actions you should take.
