Before you travel: asymptomatic testing from 30 November

26 November 2020

As part of UK government plans to support students to travel home within the UK safely for the end of term Christmas break, SOAS is partnering with the University of London and NHS Test and Trace to run an asymptomatic testing site (ATS) for lateral flow tests at Student Central on Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HY, a site close to SOAS buildings.

The test is for students who do not have symptoms of COVID-19. A negative test will reassure you and your family that you are unlikely to have the virus when you travel back home for Christmas. It helps prevent students who show no signs of the virus, but could inadvertently infect family members, passing the virus on.

Free tests will be available from Monday 30 November and can be booked from Wednesday 25 November. The Government's travel window for students is 3 to 9 December.
