COVID-19 Testing 

 

It is important to get tested for COVID-19 early – people are most infectious when they first experience symptoms.

 

COVID-19 can cause a range of symptoms. These can range from mild illness to pneumonia. If you experience any of the below symptoms, no matter how mild, please get a COVID-19 test.

 

What are the symptoms and when should I get tested?

Get tested if you have any of the following, no matter how mild:

  • fever of 37.5°C or above OR fever in the last few days (for example, night sweats or chills)

  • coughing, shortness of breath, sore throat, runny nose

  • loss of smell or taste.

 

What does the test involve?

A swab will be inserted into the back of your throat and then through your nose by a qualified practitioner. This is a fast procedure, lasting less than a minute. It may cause some mild discomfort but is not painful.
