Lateral flow testing, also referred to as asymptomatic testing for 'critical workers' commenced this week in order to help protect our community by identifying those that have the virus but don't realise it.
Please find details about the asymptomatic testing programme - targeted at ‘critical workers’ who cannot work from home in this letter. In the letter you are asked to register your interest in taking part in this.
Please read the letter and also the FAQ before registering your interest.
The tests are being prioritised for those in essential roles, providing critical services needed to keep the borough running. All early years settings and wraparound childcare providers are critical services.
All the information you need is in the letter and guidance document.
