As of today anyone in Cornwall - and the rest of England - will be given access to free lateral flow tests to check if they have Covid-19. Up to this point only certain categories of people have been eligible for asymptomatic testing, including secondary school students, households with school-age children, early years staff and childminders, health and social care workers and people in small businesses who can t work from home. However, as announced by the Prime Minister on Easter Monday, regular testing is part of the Government s plan to reopen society and the economy, which is why everyone in England is now being encouraged to take a test twice a week.
