Covid Self Tests, For Vulnerable Folk.

[AndrewT]

Dear all,

The 'Availability' of Free Covid Tests is now 'Limited To Certain Groups', however Sold Organ Transplant Patients ARE Included. If you do want to 'Order' some, then go to 'gov.uk', rather than 119- or the Normal Covid Site. I found this out after 'Chasing My Tail', for about forty minutes.

Once There you can Chose The Correct Option, from the list, and then Log In- or Create An Account, I found that, once I was Logged In, the System recognized me- and I was able to Order/ Request a Pack Of Tests very easily.

You might be able to 'do this' through 119, once you have been through many Directories, Pushed several Buttons, Waited a lot of minutes- and finally, Spoken to Someone. I'm NOT 'knocking' 119 entirely, once you have reached the Right Person, They are Very Helpful,,,,, it's just Getting to That Point, which is rather erm tricky!

Either way the Covid Tests are, very definitely, still 'Available' to us and indeed, any-and all- Vulnerable Groups.

I just thought that I'd Pass This On,
