Free rapid tests now available

Rapid tests (also known as lateral flow tests) for anyone without coronavirus symptoms are now available across Hertfordshire.

Those who can't currently work from home are especially encouraged to book a rapid test every few days to help ensure that essential services are as safe as possible.

Around one in three people with coronavirus do not show symptoms, which means they could be spreading the virus to family, friends, co-workers and into the community without realising.

Knowing if you have coronavirus even though you do not have symptoms means that you can protect your loved ones and help to stop the spread of the virus.

Please take your booking confirmation email/text to your appointment and have your mobile phone with you (please make sure it is charged). Results are sent by text and email in 45 minutes.

Book a rapid test

If you have symptoms of coronavirus you cannot have a rapid test and must not go to a rapid test centre – instead please book a standard coronavirus (PCR) test.
