Title: Lateral Flow Tests
Post by: Cookham Webmaster on August 02, 2021, 01:21:57 AM
Lateral flow tests (available form pharmacy) are NOT SUITABLE IF YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE has the following classic symptoms of Covid-19

Namely :

➡️ a high temperature

➡️ a new, continuous cough

➡️ a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste normal

Please remember - if you are experiencing any of these symptoms - YOU NEED TO self-isolate and book yourself a PCR TEST (you can do this online or call 119)

(do not come to the pharmacy to collect a lateral flow test or send someone else to collect it for you - THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT TEST if SHOWING SYMPTOMS)

The RBWM website is a good resource :

Lateral flow tests are for those who do not show symptoms.
