Показать описание
Covid-19 testing rules in England will be temporarily relaxed from Jan. 11, the U.K. government said, a move that will free up capacity as new cases remain at record levels.
People who test positive using rapid test kits will no longer need to take so-called PCR tests to confirm the result, the U.K. Health Security Agency said in a statement Wednesday. The suspension of the rules comes amid high prevalence of the virus across the U.K., with over 218,000 cases reported on Tuesday.
The aim is to encourage people without Covid-19 symptoms to self-isolate as soon as they test positive on a lateral flow device, the agency said, instead of waiting for a PCR result. Those with symptoms should still get a PCR test.
