THE SCHOOLS TESTING PLAN

Now available for parents and adults in their households and bubbles

■ Up to one in three people who have Covid-19 have no symptoms and could be spreading it without knowing. ■ Rapid testing is a quick and easy way to find out if you have coronavirus. It’s free and takes around 30 minutes.

■ It’s a simple swab test to the nose and/or throat, using a rapid lateral flow test.

■ On return, secondary school pupils and college students will take three rapid tests at school or college to learn how to do the test, then continue to test themselves at home with kits they will get from school.

If you are a parent or adult in the household, childcare or support bubble, you can now get tested too. To do this you can either: get an assisted test at work if it is available; attend a test site to get tested; or pick up test kits to do at home. Where none of these options is possible, there will be a small supply of tests online for people who need them the most.

■ The more of us that take part and report our results, the more we can protect each other from the virus and get back to a more normal way of life.
