Everyone in England will be offered free COVID-19 testing twice a week from April 9, the UK government announced on Monday.

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said this is a “significant step forward” that “paves the way for businesses and society reopening” as the ongoing CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus lockdown is gradually eased.
