PEOPLE looking to pick up a lateral flow test should be able to collect them from their local library.

Worcestershire County Council has told residents that boxes of LFTs (lateral flow tests) are available from most libraries in Worcestershire.

The tests are also available from other collections points too.

Public health experts suggest people should wait to test until just before meeting up with others.

Government guidance currently recommends taking a test “if you will be in a high-risk situation that day”.
