COVID-19 PCR Swab Test

​

The Covid swab test is to confirm whether you have coronavirus (Covid-19) now and cannot tell you about past infections or immunity. Unfortunately Cavendish Health Centre is not yet able to offer Covid-19 swab tests at this time.

​

You can no longer get free polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests from the NHS.

Instead, you can buy PCR tests from shops and pharmacies, including online.
