Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if his Department will undertake a new public information campaign on the difference between lateral flow tests and PCR tests for covid-19 and self-isolation requirements.

We have no plans to do so. Those who receive a positive polymerase chain reaction or assisted lateral flow device (LFD) test result or who self-report a positive LFD test receive specific advice on their self-isolation requirements.
