The site shows that PCR tests are not available in any English region.

PCR test kits which are posted to people’s homes, usually arriving the following day, are unavailable for both the public and essential workers, the website says.

Elsewhere in the UK, parts of Northern Ireland also have limited availability.

While they are available in Down, there are very few available in Antrim and Derry. While there are no PCR tests available in Tyrone, Fermanagh and Armagh.

PCR tests are available at walk-in and drive-in centres in all regions of Wales and across Scotland.
