When do you need to self-isolate

For the most recent guidance, visit our Coronavirus - Self-isolating page.

Getting a test if you have symptoms

If you have coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms you need to take a symptomatic test (also known as a PCR test). You must self-isolate and only leave your home to get tested.

Symptoms include:

• a high temperature
• a new, continuous cough
• a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste
   

You can get tested at a testing site or order a home test kit. Book a test, online at NHS.UK or call 119. Find a list of Sheffield testing sites.

Getting a test if you do not have symptoms

Anyone can now get regular rapid lateral flow tests without having symptoms. 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 (every 3 to 4 days) to check if you have the virus. You can collect rapid lateral flow tests from a local pharmacy, the Community Covid Bus or order them online at GOV.UK.
