Free lateral flow tests – register before 12th April

A new Covid testing offering has arrived in Bradford  called “Workplace Collect”. This scheme will allow employers who have registered to supply employees with rapid lateral flow home testing kits.

Any business wishing to take advantage of the offer must have registered online at https://www.gov.uk/get-workplace-coronavirus-tests before 12th April.

There is no obligation to order tests at this stage only to register before the deadline. This applies to businesses who are closed. They should register now with a view to ordering when they reopen.

This scheme is for businesses of any size although the minimum number of tests you can order is 378. Businesses with less than 10 staff are not encouraged to use this route, they should use the Community Collect scheme which is expected to widen beyond school aged bubbles imminently and they may use this route.
