Testing for Coronavirus?

We should all do our bit to act responsibly when it comes to reducing transmission so we should ideally all take tests before attending public spaces with lots of people in them.  There are groups who should take extra special care with regular testing not limited to:

The elderly, vulnerable and those in close contact with these groups.
The immunosuppressed and those in close contact with them.
Anyone visiting special settings like schools and hospitals.
People attending large indoor gatherings or using air travel.
Anyone experiencing COVID-19 related symptoms.
Those with very young children.
