Self- isolation
If you have Coronavirus symptoms, you and all members of your household must remain self- isolating until you have received the result of your COVID test, and should only go out to have your COVID test.
To book a test
Appointments will need to be made in advance via an online portal – details of how to book a test will be shared on Wednesday.
There are also other testing facilities available in the Cwm Taf Morgannwg Area. You can book a test at one of these facilities either online here or by calling 119.
If you are visiting the temporary centre, it is essential that you maintain social distancing by staying 2 metres apart from others while you wait to be seen, and before and after you have been tested.
Coronavirus is very easy to catch and can be fatal, particularly for vulnerable people.
