UCL to host COVID-19 testing centre
UCL's Ramsay Hall will become a COVID-19 testing centre from today, as part of a partnership between the London Borough of Camden and the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). Anyone requiring COVID-19 screening will be able to book a test at UCL's Ramsay Hall on Maple Street. The centre will be open seven days a week. UCL's Ramsay Hall is allocating an isolated section of the building to be available to the council for use as a testing centre - as part of the university's commitment to supporting the local and national response to the pandemic. Testing is only available for those with coronavirus symptoms - a high temperature, a new continuous cough, or a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste. Anyone with one or more of these symptoms should book a test at nhs.uk/coronavirus or by calling 119. People who test positive for the virus in England will be contacted by NHS Test and Trace to help them track their contacts. This will help people to identify who they may have been in close contact with, protecting others from further transmission.
