The Government announced plans earlier this month to roll out a new program of mass testing for individuals who are leaving home to go to work during the current national lockdown. This will be government funded until the 31^st March and be a twice weekly lateral flow test offered potentially in one of three ways:

• Directly through employers for organisations with over 250 employees
• Through community testing for the self employed and those in organisations with less than 250 people
• Potential at home testing kits for those who are harder to reach, such as employees on zero hours contracts.
