Where ever possible we encourage you to visit a GP or medical facility where a RNA PCR type test can be conducted, this is the definitive single test that can lead to diagnosis and treatment. Where this is not possible, or you do not wish to engage with medical people or practice, you can use the Health Network Collective app to request an antibody Point of Care Test (POCT) by one of our community testers. That is, where the service is available. In the event your antibody POCT test is positive you will need another RNA PCR test, either finger prick or venous blood sample, to have a definitive diagnosis and get linked to treatment.
