Can we please remind all parents that there are different tests that you can get to check if you have coronavirus (COVID-19). The test you needs depends on why you are getting tested.

The 2 main tests are:

• PCR Tests – for people with symptoms
• Rapid Lateral Flow Tests – only for people who do not have symptoms
