***Symptomatic COVID-19 Testing Form***

Due to the increased volume of queries about Coronavirus- we are now asking symptomatic patients to fill out the following questionnaire to help us assess you more efficiently. Please note you must already be a registered member of the practice to complete this form. If you have moderate or severe symptoms please instead contact your GP or out of hours service immediately for triage over the phone. Disclaimer: These form submissions are only checked daily Monday to Friday during business hours. 

25/3/2020: UPDATE: DEPT OF HEALTH/HSE HAS ADVISED US THAT ANYONE WHO HAS ALREADY BEEN REFERRED FOR TESTING BUT HAS NOT YET GOT AN APPOINTMENT FOR TESTING WILL NOT GET ONE. IF YOU HAVE ONGOING SYMPTOMS OR BELIEVE YOU NEED TO BE REFERRED AGAIN FOR TESTING BASED ON THE NEW CRITERIA, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR GP AGAIN TO DECIDE IF YOU REQUIRE TESTING. THIS IS BECAUSE THE DEPT OF HEALTH AND HSE HAVE NOW RESTRICTED THE CRITERIA FOR TESTING. IF IN DOUBT PLEASE SELF ISOLATE UNTIL YOU CAN BE ADVISED FURTHER.

After referral, your GP does not know when your test will take place. It may take several days. Please do not contact your GP for COVID-19  test results. Following your test you will be contacted by the testing system by text if your test is negative. If positive you will be contacted by public health for contact tracing. You may be waiting a number of days for your test result. Please do not make multiple calls to the practice and keep the phone lines available for patients who are seeking help with symptoms. Remember- if you have symptoms self isolate, don’t wait for a test result.
