March 2021

Children in England started going back to school from Monday 8th March and many pupils have being given Lateral Flow Covid Tests before being admitted to the classrooms.

Amy-Scarlett underwent Lateral Flow Testing training and put together this handy illustrated guide for the pupils at the school where she works, to put them at their ease.

The idea is to show them what they can expect. Thought it would be nice to share it!
