Testing under the age of 18. Help please

[Paranoidmarvin]

My son has a cold. Sore throat bunged up nose and a cough. But. He can’t go to college because of this.

When I put his details in to get a test. It keep coming back as a no they can’t do it as he is under 18. No home tests available. What do I do. Anyone encountered this.

Put your details in and that you are ordering a test for someone in your family

I did that. And it just said no

Me too. Mine has a fever of 38.6. No tests in the area last night or this morning.

Call 111 and they will give you a definitive answer. Im waiting for a call back from the nurse

What is the actual message you get? Is the service busy?

Just managed to order a home test kit from the gov.uk website

I’m getting there are no tests. But only after I put his age in. What am I supposed to do now.

He has no fever. No loss of taste or smell. He has a cold. He has stuffy nose. A funny head. A slight and I mean slight cough and a sore throat.
