From Friday (April 1st) as part of central government plans to close all free testing sites by the end of March 2022, the local PCR testing site currently in Crewe closed.

Also, from Friday, April 1st free LFD tests also ended and people will no longer be able to order test kits online from gov.uk or collect for free from a pharmacy.

However, LFD tests will continue to be available to purchase from pharmacies or online.

Free PCR Covid testing will be limited to a small number of people who are particularly at risk or work in certain health and social care settings.

Further guidance will be provided on the Click website, once available.
