With 1 in 3 infected people showing no symptoms, this video shows how simple it is to help protect your family, colleagues and friends.
The video was made in our Shepherds Bush Library testing centre which has now closed. Although some of our test centre locations have changed the testing process shown remains the same.

We follow our guide, a lone man going for a Covid test, from his arrival at the Shepherds Bush Library testing centre until he leaves the library having completed all the necessary steps for his rapid Covid test.
There is no speech on the video.
It is a sunny day in White City. Shepherds Bush Library is right next to the Westfield London shopping centre, by the Wood Lane entrance closest to Shepherds Bush Green.
We first see a view looking across the open space of Shepherds Bush Green with a ‘Book a Covid Test’ digital messaging board in the foreground.
Next we see an exterior view of Shepherds Bush Library.
