Pharmacies across Lichfield and Burntwood are joining the fight against Covid-19 by offering rapid testing for people without symptoms.

Staffordshire County Council said rapid lateral flow tests were now available at a number of locations.

People can also pick up packs of tests to take at home.

Dr Richard Harling, director for health and care at Staffordshire County Council, said:

> “To continue easing our way out of lockdown, we need to ensure that regular testing becomes a way of life.  
>  
> “Testing identifies those cases that aren’t displaying symptoms, meaning we can isolate these to prevent any further spread of the virus.  
>  
> “As more places open up under the Government’s road map out of lockdown, stopping the spread of Covid-19 is essential.  
>  
> “By working with local pharmacies, we can ensure that people who are out and about in their high streets or town centres can pop in to get a test, or pick up a free pack so they can carry out testing at home.  
>  
> “Testing is free, easy and convenient, and along with taking up the offer of a vaccine when eligible, it is an important way for us to help stop the spread of coronavirus.”  
>  
> Dr Richard Harling, Staffordshire County Council
