Covid 19 testing information 7/1/22
7th Jan 2022
People in Northern Ireland who get a positive lateral flow test will no longer need a PCR test to confirm their result.
If your lateral flow is positive, you should assume you have COVID-19 and that you are infectious.
You should therefore self-isolate immediately for the required period. You won’t need to take a confirmatory PCR test.
It is extremely important that you report your positive lateral flow test. Lateral flow results should be reported on www.gov.uk/report-covid19-result or by calling 119.
