I was talking to a carer last week that hadn't realised you can order free COVID test kits online and they arrive next day. You get seven in a kit and they are straight forward to use and give results in 30 minutes.

Order COVID-19 rapid lateral flow tests

You can no longer order free PCR tests from the NHS.

If you live in Stockton and you have NO symptoms then you can go to one of the community centre hubs, take a test and then walk away with as many kits as you need. There are very few people using the centres for tests. So you can walk in and immediately take a test. Then get texted result in 30 mins.

Cheers or that 👍
 
My parents also picked some up from their local pharmacy last week. They were dishing them out like smarties-gave them 4 boxes (7 tests in each one).
 
We got some a while ago, great service and free. As with all systems I heard this is being abused by people ordering them and selling them on and they are being found in far flung places across the world. Not sure if that is true but it wouldn’t surprise me, some people will stop at nothing to make money.

NHS covid tests advertised for sale on eBay and other online markets

The Government says it is illegal to sell lateral flow testing kits for personal gain and has urged people to avoid buying them online as you cannot be sure they are the genuine product.

and a slightly different story but in a similar vain criminals are also selling negative tests to people whom want to travel no matter the cost.

A global black market for negative COVID-19 test results has emerged, with fakes starting around $200

As the coronavirus pandemic drags on, people around the world are turning to the black market for negative tests that enable them to travel.

My local Sainsburys has a stall set up outside the exit where they're being handed out, infection rates where i am are now very low despite it being one of the highest boroughs earlier this year.

Worth doing, my teenage son has to do them twice a week, as does my wife as she is a special needs TA at a primary school, So I usually do one a week too.
 
Can't stress enough how important it is to carry these out at least once a week, depending on your social activities.

I take 2 a week as I'm working from an office and also visit things like the gym and grandparents quite often. Now is the most important time to regularly take asymptomatic test, as the economy continues to re-open and our exposure to others increases.
