Question:
To ask the Minister of Health to outline plans to enable everyone in Northern Ireland to access two free covid tests every week.

Answer:

On Thursday 24 March 2022 I published my Department’s Test and Trace Transition Plan. This is based on the latest public health advice and signals a move to a more targeted service, focused on protecting the most vulnerable people and those at highest risk of serious illness should they contract COVID-19.

The plan can be accessed online at https://www.health-ni.gov.uk/sites/default/files/publications/health/Test-Trace-Transition-Plan.pdf
