Test and Trace
From Thursday May 28th, the Government has introduced new measures to reduce the infection rate from Coronavirus.
Part 1: for someone with symptoms of coronavirus
- isolate: as soon as you experience coronavirus symptoms for at least 7 days. Anyone else in your household must self-isolate for 14 days from when you started having symptoms
- test: order a test immediately at www.nhs.uk/coronavirus or call 119 if you have no internet access
- results: if your test is positive, you must complete the remainder of your 7-day self-isolation. Anyone in your household must also complete self-isolation for 14 days from when you started having symptoms.
- If you test positive for coronavirus, the NHS test and trace service will send you a text or email alert or call you with instructions of how to share details of people with whom you have had close, recent contact and places you have visited.
Part 2: You will be contacted by the NHS test and trace service if you have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for coronavirus and you will be told to self-isolate for at least 14 days.
