Dr Amir Khan shows you how to self-administer a swab test for coronavirus. It’s a simple nasal and throat swab (this is different to the nasopharyngeal swab test).

This is for the self-test kits in the UK – exact models may vary. Please always follow the written instructions provided with your kit. If you're at home, please register your kit online per the instructions in your kit – otherwise you will not get your results.

The Coronavirus Testing Call Centre can be contacted on 0300 303 2713 between the hours of 0700 – 2300.
