Why can't I buy a PCR test from Medichecks if I am symptomatic?

If you currently have symptoms then we strongly advise that you do not buy a private test and instead book a free test through the NHS here https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/testing-and-tracing/get-a-test-to-check-if-you-have-coronavirus/

This ensures that if you test positive then you will be properly advised on what to do next if your symptoms worsen, and importantly, you will be part of the track and trace system and your recent contacts will be followed up to ensure they self-isolate.
