A warning has been issued following a number of NHS text scams as covid rules change.
The law requiring people to stay at home if you test positive for coronavirus in England was lifted on February 24. On April 1, free coronavirus testing was also scrapped for the majority of the population in England.
It means most people will now have to buy tests from high-street shops unless they meet a certain criteria. Health Secretary Sajid Javid said it was right to “focus resources” on people who needed testing most including some patients in hospital and those at high risk of severe coronavirus.
