Latest on coronavirus testing in North Yorkshire

Find out how to book a coronavirus (covid-19) test if you have symptoms.

If you do not have symptoms you can still get a test. Find out more on our get a coronavirus LFD test if you don't have symptoms page.

Before you attend you must book a PCR test. Tests can be booked from 8pm the night before. If test sites are fully booked they will not appear on the government's website. 

Anyone who is showing coronavirus symptoms is eligible to book a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test to find out if they have the virus. You can also book a PCR test if you are self-isolating after being in contact with someone who has tested positive. 

People who don't have access to the internet, or who have difficulty with the digital portals, can ring the 119 service to book their PCR test.

Testing locations

Testing sites in North Yorkshire, as elsewhere in England, are operated and managed by the Department of Health and Social Care and private contractors employed by them. We try to help the Department by promoting the Mobile Testing Site locations and hosting information on how people with symptoms can book a test via the national government portal. We do not manage the national booking system or laboratory testing process.

Permanent testing sites

Permanent sites are open every day for administering PCR tests only between 8am and 6pm. Find out more about collecting LFD tests if you don't have symptoms.
