Policy change
The Government has announced that from 9th April, twice weekly rapid tests will be available to everyone in England without symptoms.
From 30th March 2021 all individuals who receive a positive Lateral Flow Device (LFD) test result will be encouraged to take a follow-up PCR test, whether the LFD test was assisted or self-reported.
If you receive a positive assisted LFD test result, you must self-isolate. You can stop self-isolating once the self-isolation period is up or if you receive a negative, follow-up PCR result within 72 hours of the positive LFD test result. The PCR test can be taken at a test site or at home.
