All residents in care homes and asymptomatic care home staff have been offered testing through the whole care home portal, as well as all patients discharged from hospital into care homes. All residential and domiciliary/homecare care staff, volunteers and unpaid carers can access testing via the self-referral or employer referral portal if they have symptoms, and everyone in the United Kingdom with symptoms can now be tested for COVID-19 through the self-referral portal at the following link:
