We stock rapid COVID-19 lateral flow tests for people who do not have coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms.

How rapid lateral flow tests work
Around 1 in 3 people with COVID-19 do not have symptoms.

Rapid lateral flow tests help to find cases in people who may have no symptoms but are still infectious and can give the virus to others.

The test usually involves taking a sample from your tonsils (or where they would have been) and from your nose, using a swab. You can get a result in 30 minutes.

Important information
A negative result does not guarantee someone doesn’t have COVID-19.
It is important to continue following Government guidelines and restrictions.

Instructions on how to use the test and report your results are inside the box.

It is important to report your results, whether positive or negative. This helps the NHS identify areas where asymptomatic cases of COVID-19 are rising and declining so we can all keep each other safe.

When you report your result, you will be provided with information on the next steps
you need to take.

Make a note of the lot number of the test kit used, in case you need to report any incidents related to the device, test instructions, harm or injury.

Details on how you can report any incidents can be found in the instructions within the box
