Free Lateral Flow Tests Could Be Scrapped for Brits

Universal free lateral flow tests might be on the chopping block, reports the Sunday Times. Instead, these COVID-19 kits could be rationed to high-risk venues like hospitals and schools only.

Who Gets Free Tests?

Under the new rules, only those showing symptoms would qualify for free tests. The rest? They may have to pay out of pocket.
