The British government will offer the entire population the opportunity to carry out two rapid anti-Covid tests a week from next Friday as part of a strengthening of the national coronavirus prevention plan: the Minister of Health said, the BBC reports today. according to which the initiative will help to suppress any outbreak of the virus as the country gradually exits its long period of lockdown.
The rapid tests, which provide a response within 30 minutes, will be available free of charge in special centers, pharmacies and will also be sent by post.
These tests are already being offered to children in schools and their families, as well as to anyone who has to leave the house to go to work.
