Covid-19 home testing kits now available to collect
Home testing kits are now available to pick up from Bay and Singleton campuses. The testing centres are open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and you don’t need an appointment:
- Taliesin Create on Singleton Campus from 9.30 to 11.30am
- Y Twyni, Room 002 on Bay Campus from 2.00 to 3.30pm
Home testing kits are free and also available to order online. Alternatively, our University test sites are still open and you can book an appointment.
Even if you have no symptoms, we recommend that you carry out twice weekly testing to help keep yourself, your family, friends and the community safe. About 1 in 3 people with COVID-19 do not have symptoms but can still infect others.
Do I need to take a Covid-19 test?
Anyone can now get regular rapid lateral flow tests without having symptoms. You should test twice a week, 3 to 4 days apart.
If you have COVID-19 symptoms you need to book a PCR test on gov.uk (a high temperature, a new, continuous cough or a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste).
If someone in your household bubble has tested positive you must self-isolate and are now required to take PCR tests on days 2 and 8 of your self-isolation period.
To enable us to support you please let us know if you test positive for Covid-19 regardless of if you are in Swansea or elsewhere. You can email myunisupport@swansea.ac.uk to let us know of a positive result.
