Test Trace Protect 
The NHS Wales Test, Trace, Protect service will contact you if you’ve tested positive for coronavirus or it’s been confirmed that you have had close contact with someone who has coronavirus.  The NHS Wales Test, Trace, Protect service is there to support you through the process, particularly if you’re vulnerable or if you have concerns about self-isolation. 
A single Test Trace Protect (TTP) Service is operating across the whole of North Wales.  This replaces the services previously provided by each of the six North Wales councils. 
The North Wales TTP telephone answerphone line is open to the public and is monitored Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.  The telephone number is 01352 703800.   

NHS COVID-19 app 
The NHS COVID-19 app is an important part of our Test Trace Protect programme to control the spread of COVID-19. The app is used, alongside traditional contact tracing, to notify users if they come into contact with someone who later tests positive for coronavirus. More info: NHS COVID-19 app | GOV.WALES
