Might have Covid. Probably just a cold. Using the government website to get a test at my nearest centre. The website tells me my nearest test centre is Leicester. I live in Surrey

The government website for Covid testing is down, the phone lines unable to help. You can’t book directly with a local test centre. I can wait for it to be fixed or order a HomeKit which won’t give me results until possibly Monday. Not exactly “world beating”

Spoke to the people at 119 who said the government website is broken but hopefully will be fixed today. Local test centres exist but I can’t book in, so I’m opting for a home test which takes a bit longer
