Free Covid-19 testing ended

The local PCR testing site in Macclesfield has now closed.

Also, from Friday 1 April, free LFD tests will end, and residents will no longer be able to order test kits online from gov.uk or collect for free from a pharmacy. However, LFD tests will continue to be available to purchase from pharmacies or online. 

Free PCR Covid testing will be limited to a small number of people who are particularly at risk or work in certain health and social care settings. Further guidance will be provided on the www.gov.uk website, once available.
