Why should I get a Covid Lateral Flow Test?
Lateral Flow Testing is designed to detect an active Covid infection. It is used to identify those who may not be displaying Covid symptoms, but who may still be spreading the virus. In identifying further positive Covid cases in the community, we can prevent the chain of transmission. Therefore, regular testing was incorporated as part of the Government’s Covid-19 roadmap. The scheme has been established to give peace of mind to those starting to leave their house more often. This includes doing so for purposes such as visiting non-essential retail, or family members outside. According to the Pharmacy Services Negotiating Committee, there are several other reasons why someone may choose to partake in regular testing. These include:
– If a person’s healthcare professional or GP has advised them to take a test.
– Circumstances in which someone may need to leave the house to go to work.
– Currently working in a school, or being in a support bubble involving school-related staff.
– If said person is a child attending school, or if they are in a bubble with one.
If people test positive and subsequently self-isolate, this helps to prevent the virus from spreading. In doing this, you will ensure that you protect not only yourself, but also those around you. This includes those who may be at a higher risk from developing serious Covid-related complications.
