‘IT’S BEST TO TEST’
Many people with Covid-19 have mild, or even no symptoms, but can still spread the virus. With regular self-testing we can slow the spread, help protect the most vulnerable in our families and communities and start to get back on our feet.
Previously, rapid testing focused on essential workers and people that couldn’t work from home. However, with lockdown starting to be eased and more people returning to work or spending time away from home, rapid testing is now available for all.
Getting tested twice weekly is a simple and effective way to know that you are Covid-free. Lateral flow testing is for people aged 11 and over.
