Testing and self-isolation

The Government advice for anyone with COVID-19 symptoms is to try to stay at home and away from others to avoid passing on the virus.

It is no longer a legal requirement to self-isolate because of Coronavirus.
Most people without COVID-19 symptoms do not need to get rapid tests – see the NHS website for more information

If you stay home after a positive test, the Community Hub and NHS responders can help with shopping and medication.
