NHS Test and Trace

The NHS test and trace service ensures that anyone who develops symptoms of coronavirus (Covid-19) can quickly be tested to find out if they have the virus. It helps trace recent close contacts of anyone who tests positive for coronavirus and, if necessary, notifies them that they must self-isolate at home to help stop the spread of the virus.

You can play your part to protect your friends and family and help safely get life back to normal. If you have symptoms you should self-isolate immediately and get a test. Find out how to get a test at www.nhs.uk/coronavirus (opens new window) or call 119.

This diagram shows what you need to do if you have coronavirus symptoms or if you have been in close contact with someone who tests positive.
