Book a self-referral covid-19 test

[ajlennon]

Hi all. Posting here for visibility. Can you let your respective teams know for their awareness @afroleft @amcewen @JackiePease

We are eligible for self-referral tests and given we are not fully self-isolating due to the requirements of the PPE effort, and from time to time may be doing deliveries, it feels a sensible precaution.

Starting point is here: https://self-referral.test-for-coronavirus.service.gov.uk/

We are classed as medical and supplies

You'll get a text with a reference and can then make a booking. Booking avaialability seems good but location not so great.

Mick has managed Preston but I am going up to Penrith tomorrow morning. Would offer lifts but that doesn't seem appropriate.

That’s useful to know, thanks for bringing this up Alex.

It seems to be for if you're self- isolating:
"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 (COVID-19) "
