NHS has sent me an email saying I’ll be receiving a test kit to use if I were to catch Covid. Have to say I have been very careful since the pandemic began, mask wearing, distancing, no crowds, and will continue to do so. I did suffer a cold a few weeks ago after my Pfizer booster and I did wonder how I managed that, lateral flow tests were negative.
Anyone else received the same email?
“Important information about new treatments for coronavirus. The NHS is using new treatments for coronavirus.

They can stop you from getting seriously ill.”
Hi, I received this email today too. Seems it covers a range of situations including chemo within 12 months and radiotherapy within 6 months.
Yes I got one too. Have also been very careful and limiting contact with others.
