All households are entitled to free twice weekly testing from April 9th using Lateral Flow Device (LFD) Testing.

---

From April 9th, all households are entitled to a supply of Lateral Flow Device (LFD) test kits to be used at home if you do not have access to the test elsewhere. 

 

Householders can access a test or test kits in one of four ways:

1. Get a test through your employer

   Your workplace may offer rapid lateral flow testing to you. Contact your employer to find out more.

2. Take a test at a rapid lateral flow test site

   You can take a rapid lateral flow test at a local site. Testing at these sites is assisted, which means you will swab yourself under the supervision of a trained operator.

   You may need to book an appointment. Find your nearest rapid lateral flow test site.

3. Collect test kits

   You can collect 2 packs of home test kits at a local collection point. Each pack contains 7 tests.

   Anyone 18 or over can collect. You can check online if the location is busy before you go.

   Find your nearest home test kit collection point.

4. Order home test kits online

   If you cannot get tested at your workplace, or are unable to go to a test site or collect test kits, you can order a home test kit online.

   Please do not order online if you can get a test through other methods. This frees up home delivery for those who need it most.
