While free Covid tests for the general public are set to end in England, some free testing will continue in other parts of the UK. There isn't any official government guidance about when to test anymore, so people are having to weigh up when is sensible to do so. The swab is inserted into the extraction tube with the extraction fluid and then rotated and pressed to make sure that the sample from the swab is released into the extraction fluid (swab is then discarded at this point). The NHS says: “You can do a rapid lateral flow test from five days after your symptoms started (or from the day you had the test if you do not have symptoms) and another the next day.

Because COVID-19 can cause varied symptoms or even no symptoms at all, it's difficult to diagnose without testing. There will no doubt be some concerns about the scrapping of free tests, especially with the rise of Covid infections and hospitalisations in recent weeks. At the point the confirmatory PCR test result is known, and this is positive result, test results will, as normal, be referred to Test and Trace. Should an outbreak be declared in your organisation, testing regimes should be discussed in line with your normal organisational response.
