What is COVID-19?
COVID-19 is a viral respiratory illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. While symptoms can range from mild to severe, it can be highly contagious, particularly in vulnerable individuals. Testing remains important for reducing the spread, especially when travelling or attending events.
Who Can Use COVID-19 Treatments and Tests?
Anyone experiencing symptoms or needing to meet travel or workplace requirements may benefit from COVID-19 testing. Tests are suitable for adults and children (subject to kit age guidelines), and no prescription is required to purchase test kits online.
Symptoms of COVID-19
Common symptoms of COVID-19 include:
- High temperature or fever
- New, continuous cough
- Loss or change to sense of smell or taste
- Fatigue or muscle aches
- Headache or sore throat
- Shortness of breath
- Gastrointestinal upset (in some cases)
Always seek medical advice if symptoms worsen or if you’re in a high-risk group.
Common Questions About Covid-19
How accurate are lateral flow COVID-19 tests?
Lateral flow tests are highly effective at detecting COVID-19 when viral loads are high and symptoms are present. For confirmatory testing, a PCR test is recommended.
Can I use these tests for travel purposes?
Some PCR tests may be accepted for travel, but it’s important to check the entry requirements for your destination. Not all lateral flow tests include certification.
How quickly will I receive my COVID-19 test kit?
Orders are usually dispatched the same day if placed before our cut-off time, with tracked next-day delivery available across the UK.
Do I need a prescription to order a COVID-19 test kit?
No. COVID-19 test kits are available to order without a prescription and can be used at home with clear instructions included.
What should I do if I test positive?
If you receive a positive result, follow NHS guidance, self-isolate if advised, and inform close contacts where appropriate. Seek medical advice if symptoms worsen.
How to Take COVID-19 Tests
Each test kit includes clear instructions. Generally:
- Wash hands thoroughly before testing
- Use the nasal or throat swab as directed
- Place the swab into the test device or tube
- Wait the stated time (usually 15–30 minutes for lateral flow tests)
- Record the result and follow any additional guidance
Test Information for COVID-19
- Accuracy: Lateral flow tests are reliable for detecting high viral loads; PCR tests are more sensitive for early infection.
- Travel Certification: If purchasing for travel, ensure your chosen test includes a valid results certificate where required.
- Storage: Store kits at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Results Handling: Positive results should be followed by appropriate isolation and medical advice, particularly if symptoms are present.
Possible Side Effects
COVID-19 tests are generally well-tolerated. Some users may experience:
- Mild discomfort when using nasal or throat swabs
- Minor irritation or sneezing following swabbing
- Very rare: allergic reaction to testing solution (check product leaflet)
If you feel unwell after testing, consult a healthcare provider.
