Advice
Kent County Council are offering Symptom Free Testing available across 22 sites in Kent.
Everyone without symptoms should get tested every 2 weeks, especially if you are leaving the house for a necessary reason, such as going to work or shopping for essentials. Around 1 in 3 people with COVID-19 have no symptoms, so get tested regularly to make sure you are not unknowingly spreading the virus.
You can book an appointment at any of the 22 sites across Kent.
These sites are in addition to the regional and local testing sites for people who have symptoms.
Symptom-free testing sites are being set up using funding from central government to support local councils and help reduce rates of COVID-19.
There are three simple actions we must all do to keep on protecting each other
Do not leave your home if you have coronavirus symptoms
Do not leave your home if you have either:
- a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
- a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
To protect others, do not go to places like a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. Stay at home.
Use the 111 online coronavirus service to find out what to do.
