So the new tests are being heralded as daily "freedom passes" which could inject much-needed revenue back into the entertainment industry, the Mirror report.
A Government source told The Sun the on-the-spot checks of people's Covid status would also "help us to get towards a normal life in spring".
Hundreds of thousands of mass testing Covid tests will be rolled out in 67 towns and cities across the UK allowing for results in just 15 minutes.
While the Government will green light the shipping out of millions more if a pilot scheme testing everyone in Liverpool - one of the worst hit areas - proves successful.
It would see a huge proportion of the country receiving results who have previously never been tested, with scientists estimating it could reduce the transmission rate by 90 percent.
Professor Sir John Bell, part of the UK Vaccine Taskforce, said: "These inexpensive, easy to use tests can play a major role in our fight against Covid-19.

But he did later tell the Commons a potential vaccine and more effective testing would arm the UK with "two boxing gloves to pummel the disease".
Chief Medical Officer Professor Chris Whitty has issued a warning that any potential vaccine won't stem the current wave of infections.
Frontline workers, as well as the elderly and vulnerable are to be the first to receive any approved vaccine, however, some Brits have voiced concerns about taking any jab that has been produced within a matter of months.
Deputy Chief Medical Officer and flu expert Jonathan Van-Tam said if it is approved it will be safe and he has encouraged his 78-year-old mum to "take this up".
