Think I've got Covid. No part of my body is pain free, I've had splitting headaches for two days, like having a hangover but without at least having the fun of drinking to excess.
Do you now have to pay for a test ?

The chemist will have basic one - send someone else to pick a box up - I got two boxes in the post last week as I am considered a vulnerable person it was clear thank goodness - there are nasty other viruses going around - My brother had covid & he stated it attacks your chest & takes ages to go away - everyone is different of course , but get the test pack from a chemist & check it out ASAP

Covid tests are no longer available free of charge. Lateral flow tests can be purchased for a couple of pounds from pharmacies, while PCR tests – which give a more definitive indication of a person’s infection status – cost about £50.
