From Monday, people will have to provide they're 'eligible' to receive free Lateral flow tests.

Free LFTs will be continue for health and social care staff, patients attending hospital for a procedure and those considered very high risk.

Government has confirmed anyone not eligible will now have to buy them from local pharmacies.

Further, visitors to health and social care settings on Island, as well as our prison will no longer have to take an LFT before going.
