Rapid testing in MK
COVID-19 rapid testing is now available to everyone in MK over the age of 16. Visit our Central MK Library for a free on site test. No need to book. Results will be sent to you within around 45 minutes.
You can also collect up to 14 free lateral flow tests from the Central MK Library. No need to book, show ID or register - just ask a member of staff.
The centre is open weekdays from 9.30am to 4.30pm, and stays open later on Thursdays until 7pm.
The main symptoms of COVID-19 are:
a high temperature
a new, continuous cough
a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste
If you have any of these symptoms please self-isolate and get a test. Anyone you live with or in your ‘support bubble’ will need to isolate and be tested too.
