Times are challenging for many businesses, which are working hard to keep their customers and workforce safe, and their premises Covid-secure.
Testing people without symptoms can help identify cases quickly and help break the chain of transmission. This will reduce the impact on your workforce, and also on local NHS services. Businesses of all sizes have an important role in beating Covid-19, by identifying cases early and reducing the risk of spreading the virus. You can order free rapid lateral flow tests to test your employees twice a week in the workplace.

- if a business is registered in England, employs 50 or more people and their employees cannot work from home, they can sign up for testing to be conducted at the workplace. The registration deadline has been extended to 11:59pm on Monday 12 April 2021.
