The government has announced that, from Tuesday 6 April, the workplace testing programme will supply home test kits to companies with over ten workers where it is not possible to set up testing on-site.

This could be due to a lack of space or because a company operates across multiple sites.

Over 60,000 businesses across the country have already registered their interest to provide rapid tests to key workers.

Businesses are encouraged to register before Monday 12 April in order to access free tests until the end of June, even if they’re not yet open or are not able to start using the tests straight away.

Any Sefton businesses looking to take part in this scheme can find out more and how to apply on the gov.uk website.
