lateral flow tests, 30 minute covid detection.
Construction companies both large and small are now able to order free lateral flow COVID-19 tests for their employees from the government. The lateral flow test can detect positive cases in under 30 minutes
Sites have until the 31st March to register for the government’s workplace testing scheme which will remain free until the end of June.
Regular workplace testing is a vital part of our route back to normal life, which is why I’m very pleased that we’re now expanding our offer of free workplace testing to businesses of all sizes.
I urge all businesses to register their interest in the programme before 31 March to help break chains of transmission and keep people safe.
All local authorities in England are now offering rapid lateral flow testing for small businesses if they can’t offer rapid workplace testing. Businesses can find their local test site here.
A workplace testing infrastructure that works for businesses of all sizes, as well as consumers, is fundamental to bringing the coronavirus under control and ensuring that this current lockdown is the last.
It’s great to see that the smallest businesses can now apply to set-up testing facilities on their premises.
