As of today, people in England will be able to request two Covid lateral flow tests per week for free.

The lateral flow tests – which can provide results in around 30 minutes – will be available regardless of whether people have symptoms.

Boris Johnson said the scheme would help stop fresh outbreaks, enabling the authorities to identify and control new variants of the virus.

Everyone who wants to take a free test is being urged to do so, as they can be ordered online or collected at a local centre.

To find out how to access your free lateral flow tests and how to correctly take them, watch the video above.
