Get people tested for COVID -19
Not everyone who shows symptoms of COVID-19 will be tested in the UK, despite the WHO urging countries to “test every suspected case, if they test positive, isolate them and find out who they have been in contact with".
With COVID -19 timing is life!We need to know in order to prevent many deaths.
Testing as many people as possible even at early stages can relieve pressure on our NHS, reduce hospitalization, intensive care. Testing available to public can save lives.
