Covid-19 PCR Tests, Lateral Flow Tests and Long Covid

With a number of recent news reports about false negative Covid-19  PCR test results, how concerned should we be?

In this week's RNIB Connect Radio catch up with Pharmacist Elizabeth Roddick from New Life Pharmacy in Glasgow, our Toby Davey finds out from Elizabeth her thoughts about the reports in the news about the false negative PCR test and whether we should be concerned at all. 

  

Elizabeth also gave her thoughts on other reports that PCR test are being replaced with lateral flow tests for international travel, the different ways Covid Boosters and Flu vaccinations are being rolled out depending on where you live and more about Long Covid and what you should do if you are diagnosed with the condition.
