The Director of Public Health in Sutton is urging people to make use of the rapid covid tests following the restriction ease.
From April 9, the government announced that free rapid tests ( for people with no symptoms), will be offered to everyone in England.
Dr Imran Choudhury, director of public health at Sutton Council, is urging residents to take tests as regulary as twice a week.
He said: “This week we all took another step out of lockdown.
"Shops, restaurants with outdoor space, pub gardens and gyms were all able to open. It is fantastic to see Sutton’s town centre begin to spring into activity again.
