- Registered carers looking after people in their own homes will be able to access weekly coronavirus tests
- Care providers will be able to book tests for their staff online from Monday (23 November)
- The roll-out marks the next stage in the government’s expansion of mass testing
Those working for CQC-registered providers will receive weekly PCR tests to administer at home, which will help identify more asymptomatic cases and protect care users who are more vulnerable to the virus.
