New Test Centre Opens in Scotland , allowing more people to benefit from testing . PCR Test Scotland will allow patients to get results quicker and will help doctors offer them the best treatment as quickly as possible. 

With the newly opened lab up and running, it gives people in the area better access to the latest tests Official Rapid Tests will be aimed at helping local people to access tests in a convenient and accessible location and will provide a testing service which is quicker than ordering.

Coronavirus (COVID-19): Testing

In order to contain the Coronavirus (COVID-19), testing is part of the national Test and Protect program. People with and without symptoms can be tested. It can be performed at home or in one of the many coronavirus testing centers across Scotland.

You can get a test for:

  • yourself
  • someone you care for
  • a child in your care
  • Types of coronavirus test

The 2 main coronavirus tests are:

 

In patients with symptoms, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used

A lateral flow device (LFD) is used in people who don’t have symptoms

What coronavirus test you should take depends on why you’re getting tested and whether you have symptoms.

 

PCR tests

Any one of these three symptoms demands a PCR test. These are:

  • a high temperature or fever
  • a new continuous cough
  • a loss of, or change in sense of smell or taste

A new, continuous cough means coughing for longer than an hour, or three or more coughing episodes in 24 hours. If you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual.

 

Priority testing

During busy periods, the PCR testing of certain groups with symptoms of Coronavirus will be prioritised.PCR testing will be prioritized if you:

  • an essential worker
  • at highest risk

eligible for new coronavirus treatments those in a priority group should specify this when asked in the PCR booking portal . If you have symptoms of Coronavirus, you should self-isolate before and while waiting for your test results.Find out how to do a PCR test at home and get advice on the results.A PCR test involves swabbing the throat and nose. you can also get a Antigen Test.

A PCR test is also recommended if:

  • You are a close contact who is not fully vaccinated
  • You intend to apply for a self-isolation grant while self-isolating
  • When you have a positive LFD test result, you’re in a high-risk group for Coronavirus treatment
  • Your local council, health protection team, or healthcare provider has asked you to get a test
  • Two or more void LFD results

What does it mean to be fully vaccinated?

LFD tests:

LFD (lateral flow device) tests are self-tests for people who do not have coronavirus symptoms.

They are easy to use,Results in 15 to 30 minutes,Tests can be conducted at home or at an asymptomatic site.Find positive cases in people who are infected but don’t show symptoms

If you do not have symptoms, get an LFD test Scotland encourages everyone to take this type of test twice a week. Before you socialize or travel in Scotland, you should also take an LFD test. You may be able to end self-isolation early if your LFD test results are negative.The LFD test is not complete until you report your result, either online or by phone, and receive a confirmation of the result. It’s very important that you report your results so that your contacts can be tracked. This will prevent the spread of Coronavirus in your community.Upon receiving a positive LFD test result, you must notify your doctor and self-isolate immediately.

Learn how to perform an LFD test at home and receive advice on your results

Immunity following infection is not yet known for how long. When you recover from a Coronavirus and develop new symptoms,

 you must:

  • Schedule a new PCR test
  • Again, follow the advice about self-isolation
  • Negative travel test results for overseas travel
  • As a condition of travel, you will not be tested for Coronavirus through Test and Protect. You must do this privately.
