Two direct to consumer COVID-19 testing services have been launched by Nantwich firm Everything Genetic, including an At Home and Fit to Fly PCR testing service.

Everything Genetic has supplied thousands of COVID-19 testing kits to healthcare providers and employers across the UK since May 2020.

The business, an Approved Government Supplier since December 2020, has now launched two ‘direct to consumer’ testing services aimed at giving individuals and families the ability to order tests online.

It offers door-to-door tracked mail delivery service, rapid turnaround of results in 12-36 hours from receipt, access to a secure online custom-built portal and a results certificate that will confirm fitness to fly.

The two tests which are available to purchase online

– At Home – a standard PCR COVID-19 test for £129 per test. Two options are available including a nasal/throat swab test or a saliva test.

– Fit to Fly – a standard PCR COVID-19 test for £129 per test. This test has been specifically designed for people wanting to travel abroad once Government travel restrictions are lifted and require proof of a negative test in order to fly. This service only offers a nasal/throat swab test as many countries do not accept the saliva test.

Both the At Home and Fit to Fly testing service include a results certificate signed by Everything Genetics’ consultant virologist.

Results will also be shared with Public Health England (PHE) as part of the Government’s Test and Trace programme.

Both the PCR nasal/throat swab and saliva test kits will tell a person if they currently have coronavirus, whether they have symptoms or not (asymptomatic).

The results certificate provided is suitable for Fit to Fly purposes.

However, with any overseas travel, it is vital that individuals check the requirements for their destination country as Everything Genetic cannot be held liable if their test certificate is not accepted.

James Price, chief executive of Everything Genetic Ltd, said: “We are very pleased to be able to launch these two brand new testing services direct to consumers at a time when testing for COVID-19 is becoming increasingly important as the country emerges from lockdown and travel restrictions begin to relax.

“We have developed an in-house logistics hub for the sole purpose of distributing these test kits nationwide.

“We have done everything possible to ensure our testing service is of the highest quality and will give people the reassurance they need so they can regain some of the freedoms they enjoyed before the pandemic while continuing to keep people safe and preventing the further spread of COVID-19.”

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
