I've just received an envelope in the post asking if my household would participate. It's government funded and they've offered to pay (by voucher) £50 each for taking a throat and nose swab, then £25 for each subsequent. We could rake in a few hundred over the length of the survey. It's apparently been running since April last year.
We've been doing lateral flow tests whenever we've been out mixing (hospital visits, dental and eye test appointments etc.) for free and would have participated without a bribe. It must be costing the government a fortune.
Anyone else heard about it?
