A survey of NHS leaders revealed they think free Covid tests should continue for the public and self-isolation rules need to remain.
The NHS Confederation polled more than 300 senior staff in England, with 79 per cent saying they strongly disagreed or disagreed with the scrapping of free access to coronavirus tests.
On Monday Boris Johnson is set to announce his plan for living with Covid-19, with ministers hinting that free tests could be axed.
Testing for health staff and other key workers should also continue, according to 94 per cent of the 307 NHS leaders polled in the survey.
