Community pharmacy teams across Ely and East Cambridgeshire have started to offer free Covid-19 test kits.
The ‘pharmacy collect’ service will make lateral flow devices available to people without symptoms free of charge from local NHS pharmacies.
It comes after NHS Test and Trace research found that people prefer to access testing close to home.
The consumer healthcare association, Proprietary Association of Great Britain (PAGB), also found that since the start of the pandemic, almost one in three people are now more likely to visit a pharmacy for advice before seeking help elsewhere.
