    Because if I’m ever poorly I will do a Covid test to make sure it not that because I’ve been poorly so many times with colds headaches not eating food

    The only people who can protect us is ourselves in my opinion  they lifted lock down to early  to be fair in wales we have had lockdowns when England hasn't  and we had local lockdowns 

    The problem now is the new strains going around  so thats another thing they have to deal with and are the vacines going to work ??

    @lisathomas50 - you are suggesting on another thread, 'I think only time will tell they have said  so many different things over the past year  in my own opinion  no one knows enough about anything  doesnt matter how much its debated on here we don't know anything realy.'
    Before commenting further it might be an idea to familiarise yourself with the BMJ & other reputable medical resources & databases, as well as ongoing research.

    Surely you should only be getting tested if you have covid symptoms, not just because you feel poorly or you want to feel safe? 

    Surprised they allow you to.

    I have had 1 covid test in November but that was only because I was going into hospital for an op.
    Test on Friday result on Saturday (negative) went in hospital Monday. You can get a covid test anytime now with or without syptoms

    @MarkN88 .No you don't need to have symptoms there are a lot of people out there that can carry the virus but not actually have symptoms. That's why you can have a test if you want 1. Hope this helps
