Hi has anyone heard how lateral flow tests will be distributed to those that qualify after April 1st ? It’s been very quiet from government recently.

Not heard anything new and even following the appropriate links on line I have not managed to get any from there either.

Heard nothing. I would have preferred not to stockpile them in advance but, in the absence of any firm news, am having to do just that.

Think we are all doing that tbh. At least we can let our close family /friends test if needs be

I had an unexpected box of laterals land on my doormat by Royal Mail today. Maybe being on the CEV list?

I received them through the post without asking. Don’t know what happens when they run out. I think you can order them from a government or NHS website ticking the usual boxes for CEV people

Yes you can order more by ticking the usual boxes/ and or the box that says a medical professional advised you to get tested !

Not what you're looking for?
