We are aware that some people in Plymouth are currently experiencing problems when attempting to book a test for coronavirus (COVID-19).
We understand that this is a national problem related to capacity in the laboratories processing the tests. This is leading to some people being told that there are no tests available, or being offered tests at sites a long distance from Plymouth.
Along with other local authorities, we are pressing for the Government to resolve these issues as quickly as possible. To help us do this, we want to hear about your testing experiences so we can pass them on to the Government.
Please tell us about your experiences by emailing: Covid19TestFeedback@plymouth.gov.uk
You can also help ensure that tests are available to those who most need them by only attempting to book one if you:
- Have symptoms of coronavirus
- Are asked to get a test by NHS Test and Trace or a public health practitioner.
