London Covid: PCR test 'no longer needed' after positive lateral flow result
People who test positive for Covid with a home lateral flow test (LFT) will no longer need to take a PCR follow-up test to confirm they have Covid, it has been reported.
Currently, most people who have tested positive for Covid on an LFT will then order a PCR test which is more accurate to ensure the initial home test was correct.
According to The Sun, people will instead be advised to self-isolate for only a week purely based on the LFT and allowed to leave home if they are negative on day six and seven.
