Access to COVID tests and COVID Treatments

The NHS offers treatment to people with COVID-19 who are at the highest risk of becoming seriously ill.

Health experts have looked at the health conditions which put people at the highest risk from coronavirus.

Information regarding who is eligible is available at: www.nhs.uk/CovidTreatments

Find the most recent updated cohort guidance for COVID-19 medicines on our webpage.

What to do if you now get COVID and think you are eligible for treatment:

•  You will no longer be automatically contacted by the NHS about treatments after a positive COVID test result.

•  If you live in Norfolk & Waveney you should contact NHS 111 (not your GP or hospital specialist)

•  Contact NHS 111 as soon as possible after you test positive so that they can consider referring you for an assessment for treatment.
