The MS Society is running a campaign highlighting the importance of free lateral flow tests for people with MS and those they have frequent contact with.
Here is what they say:
‘UK Government figures show 1.3 million people are at highest risk of severe illness from Covid-19, including people with MS. But from 1 April, families, friends and carers run the risk of exposing loved ones to infection. Unless they can pay for tests.
This isn’t right.
Together with Blood Cancer UK and Kidney Care UK and other charities, we’re calling on the UK Government to continue to make free testing available to people who are eligible for Covid-19 treatments, their households and personal contacts.

No one should be put at risk because they cannot afford a test. Protection from Covid-19 should be a right, not a privilege.
Take action now
We won’t stop calling on the government to protect people at highest risk from Covid-19. But to do that, we need your help.
Email your MP now and ask them to join our call, and give our community the protection it needs.’
