Lateral flow device testing
This is available to allĀ ADULTSĀ in your child’s household, childcare bubble and support bubble. It is NOT to be used by nursery children and adults should only use it as part of regular testing when you have NO symptoms.
Lateral flow tests can be collected from your local test site. Our nearest site is Jarrow Library.
PCR test
This test is to be used when an adult or child is displaying symptoms (high temperature, cough or loss of taste/smell). The whole household and support bubble and childcare bubble needs to self isolate until a NEGATIVE result is received. Your child may then return to nursery. If you receiveĀ a POSITIVE result, please follow the current track and trace guidance.
Thanks
Amy Hindes
