Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 14 June 2021 to Question 10673 on NHS: Computer Software, what measures are in place to prevent people who use lateral flow tests at home from failing to input a positive covid-19 test result.
This question was answered on 1st July 2021
It is not a legal requirement to report the results of lateral flow tests taken at home. Users of the COVID-19 app are encouraged to enter their positive test result by using a one-off code. If this code is not used within 24 hours a reminder is sent.
