COVID-19 PCR test

Advice on testing for a current SARS-CoV-2 infection.

A PCR test checks a swab sample for genetic material from the coronavirus. Where there is a medical reason to test, it can help identify a current infection. The decision depends on symptoms, health risks and how the result would affect care. Testing without symptoms is not automatically covered by statutory health insurance.
