Jan 9, 2024 · Single tests are typically around £2 to £2.50 per test, so avoid paying more than that if you can (available at Asda, Boots, Lloyds Pharmacy and Waitrose). The cheapest place we found them right now is at Boots, which is currently selling Flowflex Antigen tests for £1.75 per test (on offer from £2).
- Overview
- Background information
Over 90% of community pharmacies in England now offering free, rapid tests for home use.
Nine in ten pharmacies across England are now distributing free rapid lateral flow tests for people to collect and use at home.
Rapid, regular testing is now available to everyone in England and the new ‘Pharmacy Collect’ service provides an additional route to regular testing, making it as easy as possible for people without COVID-19 symptoms to access testing twice a week.
The Pharmacy Collect service is available to people aged over 18 without symptoms, who are able to visit a participating local pharmacy and collect a box of 7 rapid tests to use twice a week at home.
Alongside the rollout of the vaccine, testing will form a crucial part of everyday life as parts of society reopen. Around 1 in 3 people with coronavirus don’t have symptoms, which means they can spread the virus without knowing it. Regular testing continues to play a critical role in stopping the spread of the virus and breaking the chains of transmission.
An online checker has launched so people can find their nearest pharmacy offering free rapid test kits.
The test kits will be provided free of charge to anyone requesting them with one box of test kits per person.
All pharmacies that sign up to deliver the service will receive a set-up fee and a transaction fee every time a member of the public collects a kit.
Each box contains 7 LFDs. This allows the person to test themselves twice weekly within a 3-week timeframe. This number of tests in the box factors in the potential for a void test.
The majority of pharmacies have test kits available but we are aware that some pharmacies are unable to immediately order test kits. Stock is being replenished to wholesalers on a daily basis with deliveries being made to pharmacies within a matter of days in order to meet demand.
Anyone with symptoms of COVID-19 – a high temperature, a new continuous cough, or a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – should book a PCR test online or by calling 119.
Getting a rapid test is quick and convenient. Rapid tests are available through:
