When should I take a test?

You need to take the test within the first five days of developing symptoms for it to be effective.

Can I order a test to my home?

On days 1 to 4 of your symptoms, you can get tested at home. If you're ordering a home test kit on day 4, do it by 3pm.

The test involves taking a swab of the inside of your nose and the back of your throat, using a long cotton bud.
