Testing for COVID-19 twice a week is now easy as you can order kits to your home, collect them for home use, or book a supervised test at your nearest pharmacy.

The easing of COVID-19 restrictions these last few weeks is welcome news in West Sussex, but to keep the county on track with the roadmap, regular testing and self-isolating if positive is more important than ever.

If you’re concerned about having to self-isolate support is at hand:

• The West Sussex Community Hub is available on 033 022 27980. 
• You may be eligible for a Test and Trace Support Payment. See the GOV.UK website for details.
• Free delivery from your local pharmacy is available if you have no other way to get your medicines.
• NHS volunteer responders can help with grocery shopping, prescription collections, or be there for a chat.
• COVID-19 Mutual Aid Local Groups are small, independent community groups set up across the UK to support local people through the outbreak. Find your nearest group in West Sussex.
• See the COVID-19 safe and healthy webpage for tips.
• See the list of local food suppliers and organisations able to deliver.

To date, more than 70% of those aged 75 and over have now received their second vaccination in West Sussex, and more than 300,000 second doses have been provided to people across our communities.
