I have cancelled all my appointments, I just had a goverment letter saying to cancel all hospital appointments. Hope this helps. Have a lovely day and stay safe.😊 Bernadette xx

Unless it’s urgent, cancel it. Health workers are pleading with everyone to “stay at home”. If you go, you risk infecting yourself & others. You can rearrange it for a later date.

It's important that you cancel it if you decide not to go rather than just miss it, but I expect you know that. 😉

Cancel. It is just a routine test. It is not important, non essential and will have no affect on your condition at all. By breaking self-isolation and leaving your home and going to the surgery there is an increased risk that you could get infected. You can take the test after self-isolation advice has been relaxed.

hi thanks for comments just a bit confused when phoned the doctors by her reply got bit upset.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Don’t be upset. I expect your dr is overwhelmed & very tired so just wasn’t thinking

[peege]

I would email your surgery with the instructions 'in the light of Corvid 19 risk I'd like to postpone my appointment to a later date', that way it's in writing that you're choosing to have the test at a later date.

Stay home!
