First, order order your testing kit through UK Meds. You will receive the kit and inside, you will find a swab and a pre-stamped envelope allowing you to mail the swab to LML.

After they receive your swab, they conduct a PCR test. What is a PCR Test? It stands for "polymerase chain reaction", a method of culturing billions of your DNA sample in order to amplify the sample large enough to study it in detail. This can be done quickly, as the results of your PCR testing are typically available by the next evening, as stated on their website listed above.

The test looks for the presence of the RNA of the virus. The swab is used in the throat and nose, and if the virus is present the test will detect its presence. It is a very accurate test and can detect whether someone who has symptoms of Covid-19 actually is infected or not. It can detect the presence of the virus up to 14 days prior to the development of symptoms.

You will take a swab sampling from the back of your throat and from your nose. It is a straightforward process, but care must be taken to have sanitary conditions during and handle the testing kit properly for the best chance of accuracy.

First swab your throat and tonsils. Next, take the other swab end and insert it into one of your nostrils, approximately 2cm deep and twirl it for 3 to 5 seconds. Taking care to do this properly will help ensure accurate test results. Make certain that you read instructions properly. It may help if you perform the test in front of a mirror.

After you have completed the instructions, next send the test kit to the laboratory using the prepaid envelope you see within the kit. The test results will be mailed back to you quickly, typically within a few days of sending your sample.

If your result is positive, this confirms that you are actually infected with Covid-19. It means they found Covid-19 DNA/RNA on the swab you sent to the lab. You should call NHS 111 and check out their latest advice by visiting this web page: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/. This is especially true if you feel ill or unwell. If you have a positive result, but you do not feel sick, you may be asymptomatic. It is important to continue wearing face masks, as others still may catch the virus from you. Advice on what to do if you are sick with covid-19 continually changes, so make certain you refer to the website for the latest instructions if you test positive for Covid-19.

If you have a negative result, this confirms that the swab you sent to the lab does not contain Covid-19 RNA/DNA. While this is good news, you will still want to take precautions if you are feeling sick.
