Last day of free lateral flow tests in England - a podcast by BBC Radio 4

Despite increasing coronavirus cases and hospitalisations, today marks the last day you can access lateral flow tests for free in England. The change comes amidst a surge in cases, with approximately 1 in every 16 people in England and Wales having the virus, 1 in every 11 in Scotland and 1 in every 17 in Northern Ireland. Today’s Mishal Husain spoke to Dame Jenny Harries, chief executive of the UK’s Health Security Agency on the programme.
