Ashford denies high demand behind new guidance
Government has denied high demand has driven a change in advice regarding lateral flow testing.
100,000 of the kits were delivered to the Island yesterday after pharmacies ran out last week.
No more than seven swabs can be requested per person and it's now being recommended people only test themselves twice per week.
