Free lateral flow tests can now only be ordered once every three days

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

People ordering packs of free lateral flow tests online are being told they must wait 72 hours in between orders. Packs of seven rapid Covid-19 tests have so far been available to order once every 24 hours using the government's online form.

But people attempting to order tests today, February 21, have been told to wait longer before they can have anymore. READ MORE: What time is Boris Johnson's announcement on the living with Covid plan today?

Some people trying to make an order have been met with the message: "You have ordered a test within the last 72 hours. You can only place one order in a 72 hour period.

If we have made a mistake, you can call the contact centre." It comes amid reports that the government is set to scrap the free provision of lateral flow tests.
