I just registered and had to answer questions like name, address, postcode, name of school for child whose household I’m in, NHS number (optional). Very easy, 5 minutes on a phone, and should be less next time as I’ve set up an account so it should remember me. And I did it prompted by this thread - I had forgotten that logging negatives was important for positivity rates.

Most people aren't going to log (if they even do the tests), are they?

I haven’t done a home one yet, but I have had to register the two my eldest has done at school so far. It seemed to ask loads of questions, as others here have said, and frustratingly I had to do the same both times. Surely there should be a way of creating an account so you don’t have to enter all the details every time when doing them regularly? I agree it will put people off, with three of us testing at home twice a week I am not sure I will be motivated to register them all of negative!

I did create an account and so for the second test, I just had to log in and tell them the date of the test, scan the barcode and tell them the result?

That’s interesting, I will have to look again when he has his third one next week. I scanned the barcode from my phone then had to enter everything including test centre code. Hopefully I can register and save time once we are doing the home ones not the ones in school

@Eccle80 I thought the school had to register the ones taken at school? That sounds strange - did school definitely instruct parents to record them?

Sorry, I know it’s off topic, but for those struggling to register LFT tests, I thought it might be helpful to share the link I got (which was really easy to do, and allowed me to save my details so I have fewer boxes to tick next time).

The email from the NHS on coronavirus home testing for parents of primary school children said:

Report every result (whatever it is) to the NHS on the day you take the test (and no later than 24 hours). Try to do it as soon as you get the result.

To save time, report online and use your NHS Login (you can set one up the first time you report).

Go to GOV.UK www.gov.uk/report-covid19-result

@SilenceIsNoLongerSuspicious I'm afraid that's the link I, and, I suspect, others here, were using.....

Are selecting the “report for someone else” button? If you select “myself” then the very first question asks if you want to create an account and then it stores all your details. I guess they assume that adults will do their own (and I thought school tests would be registered at school, as certainty the secondary parents I know don’t have any involvement and just get a text with the result?)

The very different experiences and processes just amongst those on this thread, hardly points to a clearly explained user-friendly system, does it?

Yes am selecting report for yourself...

Just tried it again out of interest and it's still showing Technical Error when I try to log in!

I had already set up an account as a member of school staff as that's what we had to do when being tested if in school during lockdown.

I will be interested to see how the numbers of tests carried out changes over the weekend, given the huge increase in tests from the return to school. I'll be curious to see if weekend numbers (excluding school testing) drop back to the same levels or below what we were seeing on weekends previously.

Not sure if this will be entirely clear from the data, but we will see!

@Lockheart
Indeed
It should be obviously I would have thought in the tests processed (which was huge last week) if not in the actual results

@Frazzled2207 I didn't phrase my post terribly well, that second section re numbers should have said case numbers. Yes the number of test carried out will be obvious!

I suppose what I'm trying to say is I would like to compare movement without the additional "noise" from mass school testing (which is of course useful data in its own right, but it's been going on for such a short time comparatively it's causing noise in the trends we've had so far).

Ah yes totally agree I think there should be because Schools are not testing anymore (don’t think) and although they should still be testing at home they probably won’t bother recording them. Those who go on to get positive pcrs will of course get recorded.

Some schools are still testing as they did two tests in week 1 and the final test due early next week. Depends whether they started before the official 8th March date (which I know some did)

I think I would have selected report for someone else as they were my son’s not mine. His school seem to be unusual in sending the bar codes home for us to register rather than doing it there, presumably they do look at who gets positives themselves though! They are a smaller school so maybe don’t have the staff resources to do it all

Lots/most secondaries still doing in school testing next week I believe.

Yep to more testing next week - both DS and DD have one more in school next week. Then 2 at home each week, at least until Easter.

Ah ok didn’t realise the school testing wasn’t finished

@Frazzled2207

Ah ok didn’t realise the school testing wasn’t finished

Secondary aged kids were to have their first three twice-weekly tests in school, and after that to test at home twice weekly. Some of the keener schools did the first test in the week before opening, so they'll have finished with in-school testing now. But most schools i think tested twice in this last week, so the kids will have one further in-school test to go, mostly on Monday or Tuesday this coming week.

After that it'll be home testing for all, so a lot less unconfirmed LFTs likely in the figures, as I'd imagine most people will do a PCR test to confirm, especially if their child has no symptoms.

121 deaths
5534 infections
23.6 first jabs

Looking at the cases in England based on specimen dates starting from Monday 8th 21846 cases added so far.

Taking the exact same point for cases added by spec date from Monday 1st March this time last week 21635 cases.

At the moment therefore the increase in cases is just under 1%

@Firefliess
thanks for that I knew they were doing 3 tests I assumed they'd all be done in the first week but tbh no first hand knowledge!

I’m not sure if has already been commented on, but Scotland’s numbers look to be going up slightly. I thought they hadn’t started any relaxation of lockdown yet, so wondered why that might be?
