Key Workers Urged to Get Regular Covid Tests – Even Without Symptoms!
One in three people with coronavirus show no symptoms but can still spread the virus. That’s why key workers must get tested regularly, even if they feel well.
Fast, Free Covid Tests Across Islington
Islington has four rapid testing sites for symptom-free key workers. The tests take just 15 minutes, with results back in under an hour. Remember, symptoms include a high temperature, a new continuous cough, or loss of taste or smell – if you have these, get a different test.
Who Should Get Tested?
- Health and social care staff
- Teachers and childcare workers, including social workers
