Testing and tracing

If you are not symptomatic you do not need a test Positive RAT results do not need to be confirmed with a PCR test unless advised.
Millions of RATs now distributed around the country to testing sites, GPs, pharmacies and within workplaces, RATs will become the primary form of testing.
You can now access a RAT from hundreds of locations around the country, making getting a test much easier and over coming days the number of access points will increase significantly.

Approved RATs will soon be able to be sold to the public for purchase through retail outlets.
PCR test results are notified by text and directed to the online self-investigation tool. There is additional support for those who don’t have access to digital tools.
