At this time of such high demand it is crucial that only people who have COVID-19 symptoms book a test. These include:

· A high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)

· A new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)

· A loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you've noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal
