Coronavirus testing in Pendle
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.
Can I get a test if I don't have symptoms?
Yes. You can book a test even if you don't have symptoms.
The booking system will ask if you have symptoms. Just click "No." You will then be asked a number of questions until you get to one that asks you why you want to book a test. Click the option that says "My local council or health protection team has asked me (or someone I live with) to get a test, even though I do not have symptoms."
An appointment will then be made for you to get tested.
