Keeping stocked up with LFTs

With COVID-19 infection rates so high currently, it is vitally important that we stick to the new guidelines of testing twice weekly using Lateral Flow Tests (LFTs).

As of today [Wednesday 06 April 2022], there are currently 274 active positive cases in EEAST.

NHS workers who are taking part in a staff testing programme are still eligible to order LFTs on the GOV.UK website and we encourage you to use this resource so that you have adequate supplies of the testing kits at home.

While the Trust holds a stock of LFTs, it is obviously more convenient if you have a stock at home in case you start displaying the symptoms of COVID-19.

A full list of the current testing requirements was posted on Need to Know last week.

If you have any queries, please contact your line manager or Covid lead on 07715 494158 or e-mail EEASTCovidLeads@eastamb.nhs.uk
