Image of COVID-19 - 12 - 30 Year olds asked to get a PCR test

Cumbria County Council are asking every person living and working in Cumbria between the ages of 12 and 30 to get a PCR test for COVID-19, even if they do not have symptoms.

This is because new COVID-19 infections are rising fastest among this age group. By getting as many people as possible tested people who are infectious can be identified and asked to self-isolate to help stop infection spreading.

Parents/carers will be informed of testing arrangements for school age children by their child’s school next week.

For everyone else in the age group, there's no need to book. Just turn up to one of the follow test centres between 8am-8pm from Saturday 19 June:
