Now Received Priority Home PCR Test (To access new treatments Sotrovimab Molnupiravir & Paxlovid)

Apologies to all those I've just replied to about Home PCR tests.

I have now just received the "Priority" version of the test (After the first one I got was an ordinary one)

Photo: You can see the difference - The Booklet has the words "Priority Test" in a box and is a bit different inside. Also the return card envelope has a red border.

Suggest give it a couple of days then ring 119 again if you don't have the Priority version.

CLLSA explains how they have realised the mistake:

Also see Nick's latest post:

P.S. If/when I use the kit I think I'm tempted by the courier option. Putting it in the standard mail does not seem to be a responsible thing to do as the post office make no precautions.

Best wishes to all,

Ernest

I'd give it a couple of days for them to work through the errors, then give them a bell if nothing arrived.

Best wishes,

Ernest

Evidently 119 now has a special unit to deal with the like of us who should have received priority kits.. Hooray so ask for that when you do ring
