COVID-19 Support for individuals
Coronavirus testing in Pendle
If you have symptoms of Covid-19, you need to isolate and get a PCR test as soon as possible. The symptoms are:
- a high temperature
- a new, continuous cough
- a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste
Booking a test for a Mobile Testing Unit or Local Testing Station
COVID-19 tests can only be booked on the national online booking portal or by calling 119 if you do not have access to the internet. You cannot book a test in any other way.
If you can't book a test online, or you are offered a location or time that isn't convenient, wait a few hours and then try again. Tests are available each day.
