    You can now make a Coronavirus swab test in Boots with results in 12 minutes

    Boots have unveiled a new coronavirus testing service which the company says can return results from swab tests in just 12 minutes.

    Here's everything you need to know.

    How will the service work - and when will it be rolled out?

    The pharmacy chain said the LumiraDx devices, which are able to quickly process swab tests to give customers same-day results, will be rolled out in selected stores over the next few weeks.

    Boots has also launched a 48-hour testing service which is currently available in 10 stores across London, Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh and Glasgow, with plans to extend the programme to more than 50 outlets across the nation.

    The service is available as a private pre-flight test for customers who require one before travelling abroad, or as a solution for those who would prefer peace of mind before seeing friends and family.

    How much will the service cost?

    The in-store service will cost £120 per test.

    Customers who are not displaying any Covid-19 symptoms can book an in-store test through the company’s website, http://boots.com.
