THERE have been reported shortages of lateral flow tests across the country, so we've compiled a list of where you can get one in Oxfordshire.

Lateral flow tests differ to PCR tests and are used for people who do not have symptoms of coronavirus, providing a quick result in a similar way to a pregnancy test.
