Rapid COVID-19 tests now available at pharmacies for those eligible

For those who are eligible, free rapid COVID-19 tests are now available to collect at over 90 pharmacies in Cardiff and the Vale.

About 1 in 3 people with coronavirus do not have symptoms but can still infect others.

Getting tested regularly is the only way to know if you have the virus. If people test positive and self-isolate, it helps stop the virus spreading.

You can get lateral flow tests for you and your household if:

• you are a volunteer
• you cannot work from home
• you are an unpaid carer
• you are visiting Wales from elsewhere
• you are travelling to other areas of the UK
• your health board requires testing before hospital visits
• you or your partner are using hospital maternity services
• you are the parent, carer or guardian of a child in hospital
• you are going to an event that requires it 

If you get tests through your employer or education setting, you should continue to do so.
