What If I Can't use the app?

Don't worry. The NHS COVID-19 app is part of the wider NHS Test and Trace service in England, and NHS Wales Test, Trace, Protect service in Wales. If you have recently been in close contact with someone who tests positive for coronavirus, contact tracers will get in touch with you and give you guidance on what to do next.

If you have coronavirus symptoms, you can get a free COVID-19 TEST  by calling 119 or visiting NHS.uk

However, the app is the fastest way to see if you are at risk of coronavirus. The quicker you know, the quicker you can alert and protect your loved ones.
