How to book a Covid test in Glasgow

LFD or lateral flow tests are rapid tests that can be done at home within 30 minutes and help find positive cases among people who are infectious but not showing symptoms.

Why should you take a lateral flow test?

Everyone in Scotland is urged to take one of these tests at least twice a week. Around one in three people with coronavirus do not show symptoms, so can spread the virus without even knowing they have it.
