Everyone in Scotland should take a lateral flow test twice a week, and before socialising or travelling.
Picking up rapid lateral flow tests from a local pharmacy or collection point is the quickest way to get them for most people – find out your nearest location here. And, from Monday 14 February, LFT kits can be picked up from North Ayrshire libraries (subject to supply). For details of library opening days/times, click here. However, if you prefer you can order lateral flow tests directly online here.
Lateral Flow Test kits can now also be obtained from a pop-up collection point in Rivergate Shopping Centre, Irvine (located at foot of escalators). You can collect two boxes (seven tests per box) from the stall, which is operated by volunteers from Coastwatch. The collection point is open from 10am to 2pm, Monday to Friday (subject to supply).
