Boots is set to launch affordable Covid-19 lateral flow tests in its stores and online, following the government’s announcement to limit free Covid testing from 1 April.
Customers will be able to purchase a pack of four lateral flow tests for £17, or one test for £5.99, from boots.com, with both options including delivery.
This test will offer customers an option to send their results to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) to report a negative test.
From early March, the retailer will also offer lateral flow tests at over 400 Boots stores, priced at just £2.50 for a single test or £12 for a pack of five. These tests will also be available on boots.com, alongside a bundle for two tests at £4.75 and four tests at £9.50.
Asif Aziz, director of Healthcare Services at Boots UK, said: “We are pleased to be expanding our Covid-19 testing services even further, with affordable lateral flow testing options for those who still want peace of mind from asymptomatic testing after 1 April.
“While it is great that we are returning to normal and finding a way to live with Covid-19, we encourage our customers and patients to stay safe and continue to take measures to limit the spread of the virus, especially to those in vulnerable groups.”
