There are two ways to get a coronavirus test the North - by going to a test centre or getting a testing kit delivered to your home.
Both pathways are self-swab tests and will require a swab of the inside of the nose and back of the throat.
Testing for all symptomatic individuals can be booked through the www.gov.uk website.
At present, there are four fixed testing sites in Northern Ireland and several mobile and walk-in testing sites.
