Taking a test at Newclose
If you have COVID-19 symptoms and need to get tested, you should always book an appointment.
Please book online or call 119 to get tested at Newclose Cricket Club, Blackwater Road, Newport, PO30 3BE.
You can also order a home test kit if you prefer.
Please remember the COVID-19 symptoms:
- a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature);
- a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or three or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual);
- a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you’ve noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal.
