This testing for children aged two and over will enable all children who attend nursery or school to have regular tests. The results for a lateral flow test usually takes an hour.
The aim is that regular testing combined with the “Hands, Face, Space” message will help to ensure that schools and nurseries are a safe place for everyone. If they are able to, children can carry out their own swabs, but if not, parents can do it for them.

People with any of the main COVID-19 symptoms should seek book a test that is analysed in a lab by dialing 119 or by visiting www.nhs.uk/coronavirus.
