It's many, many more pharmacies. some customers are very understanding with it, but some are getting very angry about it as well, saying that "we have been told we need to test every day, so how are the tests not available?" good morning, do you have any lateral flow tests? no, i'm afraid we are completely out of stock. but what i would suggest is try to order them to your house. you can try to do that, order them online, but you might be told there are no more delivery slots available. i'm very disappointed, because i want to go out on new year's eve with my family, and obviously i'd rather b...

Katharine da costa has more. george winder and his wife nikki are both gps in leeds. he tested positive for covid on a lateral flow device, which means, as a health worker, his wife cannot return to work until she's received a negative pcr test. it appears that, often, the website isn't showing availability. that doesn't always seem to hold true throughout the day. and i understand that other people have later in the day then found availability, which was the same with my wife. so, really, it'sjust this pattern of a delay in being able to book one locally on the government booking site. at som...
