Ordering lateral flow test kits

You can get regular lateral flow tests if you do not have symptoms of COVID-19.

About 1 in 3 people with Covid-19 do not have symptoms but can still infect others.

You should do a rapid test twice a week to check if you have the virus.

Even if you are vaccinated, there is still a chance you can pass COVID-19 on, so you should keep getting tested regularly.

You can order the kits online CLICK HERE

Or you can collect them from a local chemist HERE

Look forward to welcoming you back to campus in September.
