Share your story: Do you have experience of Covid-19 testing or tracing?

Our test and trace strategy is one of the best tools we have in the fight against Covid-19, and we’d like to hear about readers’ experience of the process.

If you had symptoms, how long did it take for you to get a test, from the time you contacted your GP or after-hours service?

Were you asked to pay for the consultation?
What was the testing process like?
And how long did it take to get your results?

If you tested positive, how did the contact tracing work from your point of view?

Did you social isolate while you waited for the test and results?
