Some manufacturers are selling products for the diagnosis of COVID-19 infection in community settings, such as pharmacies.
The Government website advises against the use of these kits: Some manufacturers are selling products for the diagnosis of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in community settings, such as pharmacies. They warn: We can confirm that there are no CE marked tests for home use, and it is illegal to supply such products. However, there is a moral question with regard to when officially supported reliable testing becomes available to the public and whether or not individuals will have to buy them! Should the state provide the Coronavirus (Covid-19) tests free of charge to ALL? What if people decide not to buy the test and assume they are risk free? What if they have self isolated for 14 days and then decide to go out as normal and don't bother paying for a test? All these questions and more are such that the Government needs to answer! In the meantime, you can write to your MP and express your opinion on the Government charging for the testing or providing it free to all: Find your MP Source: Gov.UK / Unionsafety |
