Millions of families with school-age children are to be offered rapid Covid-19 tests twice a week in a blitz designed to help schools to open safely.
The government will launch nationwide “surge” testing from tomorrow, under which up to 32 million lateral flow tests will be sent by post to parents every week. Entire families and households with primary school, secondary school and college-age children, including childcare and support bubbles, will be able to test themselves twice every week at home as schools return. Test kits can also be collected from 500 local sites.
