LONDON — When White House press secretary Jen Psaki dismissed the idea of sending a free Covid test to every American this month, many on social media cried that Britain had long been doing just that.
As the Biden administration now prepares to ship as many as 500 million at-home test kits next month, the U.K.’s efforts to combat the spread of the virus through widespread and free testing may offer some lessons for the United States.
For the past nine months, U.K. residents have been able to order a pack of seven rapid tests each day. Less sensitive than a lab test, the rapid antigen kits can give a result in 15 to 30 minutes and are carried out at home, rather than at a center where staff are required.
Though the country has one of the highest death tolls in Europe and has been an early hotspot for the new omicron variant, experts said that testing effort — which has cost the British government billions of dollars — has nonetheless had a strong impact.
“Apart from the vaccine program, this is one of the things that may have made the biggest difference in the U.K.,” Irene Petersen, a professor of epidemiology at University College London, said of the rapid test distribution effort.
"If we hadn’t had the tests, virus rates would have been even higher."
