Free Covid-19 tests in England are being scaled back as people scramble for free test packs while they are still available. People trying to order lateral flow tests are discouraged to order packs when they try and access them online.
“Most tests are now needed for people at higher risk,” according to the online ordering system. “In England, most people without Covid-19 symptoms no longer need to take rapid lateral flow tests.
“Some people still need tests to stay safe, like: NHS staff; people who are at higher risk; people who are visiting high-risk places. We want to make sure tests are available for people who need them most.”
