Workplace Covid testing is now available to all businesses in England, the government has announced, including those with fewer than 50 employees.
Businesses of all sizes can now register to order lateral flow tests for their workers, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said.
The tests are free until 30 June, and companies can register until 31 March.
Rapid Covid-19 testing provides results in less than 30 minutes, helping people to "isolate immediately", DHSC said.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock said that "regular workplace testing is a vital part of our route back to normal life, which is why I'm very pleased that we're now expanding our offer of free workplace testing to businesses of all sizes, including SMEs,"
The hope is that asymptomatic cases can be detected quickly, thereby preventing workplace outbreaks.
So far, more than 3,500 businesses have signed up to offer workplace testing programmes, the DHSC said, and more than 14,000 have registered their interest in offering rapid testing.
We hope your transition back to the workplace is as smooth as possible but don't forget we have some great resources and can help with your planning too.
