One in three people who test positive for coronavirus show no symptoms at all. Anyone can now access free rapid Covid-19 tests (Lateral Flow Tests).
The tests are quick and convenient and provide results in under 30 minutes.
You should take up the offer of free and regular rapid Covid-19 tests, even if you have no symptoms. Quick and regular testing can help protect you and those you live with.
There are 3 rapid testing sites in Tower Hamlets where you can be assisted to take rapid tests:
- 56 Burcham Street, Poplar, E14 0SH. Open 10am to 7pm daily
