Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Most people no longer need to take a coronavirus test. To prevent the spread of infection, you should try to stay at home if unwell. Testing is still available to specific groups.

Coronavirus, and other respiratory infections such as flu, can spread easily and cause serious illness in some people. Vaccinations are very effective at preventing serious illness from coronavirus. But there's still a chance you might catch coronavirus, or another respiratory infection, and pass it on to other people.
