The Government has launched testing for Key Workers

If you're a key worker who is self-isolating (not able to leave home), you can now apply for you and your household to get tested for coronavirus (COVID19). Testing can be done at a centre or you can request home testing kits.

You can only apply for this test if you’re a key worker who is self-isolating.

If your test result turns out to be negative, you can safely return to work, as long as:

• you are well enough

• you have not had a high temperature for 48 hours

• anyone you live with also tests negative

If your test result is positive, or someone you live with tests positive, you cannot return to work. You’ll need to continue to self-isolate.

Read NHS advice about how long to self-isolate.

If your condition gets worse, or you do not get better after 7 days, use the NHS 111 online coronavirus. service. Only call 111 if you cannot get help online. For a medical emergency dial 999.
