From the 1st of April, the universal symptomatic testing offer in England will end, and free testing will continue only for certain groups.
Free COVID-19 testing will be available for people with symptoms if they are:
- Patients in hospital.
- Eligible for treatments because they are at higher risk of getting seriously ill.
- Living or working in high-risk settings such as care homes or the NHS.
