Coronavirus: Should I get tested?

Coronavirus (Covid-19) is spreading quickly and testing is in high demand. You may be wondering whether to test for the virus or simply continue to self-isolate. If you are concerned that you may have coronavirus or you just want to put your mind at ease, Better2Know can arrange your test today.

The choice is yours on whether to test for Covid-19 with Better2Know. Getting tested will help to protect your health and prevent spreading the virus to others unknowingly. The more people who are tested, the better our understanding of the problem we face in the UK.

You may be thinking…

‘I want to test for coronavirus, but I have no symptoms’

The virus affects individuals differently. Whilst some will feel slightly unwell, others will become critically ill. Currently, the NHS is only testing those who require hospitalisation, although testing is set to increase [1].

With Better2Know, you can test for Covid-19 no matter what your situation is – whether you have mild symptoms, moderate symptoms or no symptoms at all. We know that this is a stressful time for many people, and you may just be looking for a peace of mind test.

‘I want to test for coronavirus, but I don’t want to leave my neighbourhood’

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Better2Know can deliver a Covid-19 Home Test Kit right to your door. If you order before 4pm Monday to Friday, you will receive next-day delivery. All you have to do is simply collect your sample at home and drop it in your nearest post box to send to our laboratory. Your results will be available within two working days in your secure online Patient Area.

‘I want to buy a coronavirus test kit online, but I don’t know whether it is a genuine website’

If you are thinking about testing for Covid-19 at home, it is important to ensure that you buy a legitimate test kit. A fake test could result in an inaccurate result which not only wastes your time, money and puts your loved ones at risk, but also leaves you wondering whether you have the virus or not.

Rest assured that our PCR Covid-19 test is CE marked, PHE validated and performed in our CPA accredited laboratory. You will get the answers you need quickly, accurately and confidentially.
