UK coronavirus mass home testing to be made available 'within days'

As yet, we have little detail of this, but I hope the instructions that come with it as absolutely clear, because misuse could lead to a massive rise in infections. I am basing this on what little has been said so far, but it could change when we get more detail.

I fear that a lot of people who have a test that shows them to be clear will interpret that as meaning they can go out safely. The government and medics will really need to hammer home that is the exact opposite of how to understand the test. The 'best' result is that is shows you have the antibodies, at which you then stay in isolation for another two weeks. Only then is it likely to be safe to go out.
