Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what arrangements have been made to ensure prompt and universal COVID-19 testing for those (1) providing home care, and (2) receiving care at home.

Symptomatic social care workers (and symptomatic members of their household) who are self-isolating can access testing through the online self-referral portal. Individuals can also be referred for a test by their employer through the employer referral portal.

Anyone in England over the age of five with any of the symptoms of COVID-19 can ask for a test through the National Health Service website.
