Patients Association - Testing for COVID-19

13 Apr 2022 09:24 AM

Since the start of April, most people in England can no longer get free PCR or lateral flow tests (LFTs) for COVID-19.

But some people in England are still entitled to free COVID-19 tests, including the most vulnerable, as well as frontline NHS staff.

In Wales, people can only order LFTs if they have symptoms of COVID-19. All PCR testing sites for the general public have or will close soon.

Free tests are still available in Scotland and Northern Ireland for the time being.
