Government of England has now made it official to have home abortions during the Covid-19 outbreak.

Women and girls wanting to terminate an early pregnancy were first told the service would be available at clinics but that decision was then retracted.

Keeping the situation of current outbreak in England, the government has decided that patients can take two pills at home instead of going to a clinic to avoid exposure to coronavirus.

The Department of Health in England told that public safety and continued access to key services is our priority during this difficult period.

This measure will be on a temporary basis and must follow a telephone or e-consultation with a doctor.”

Under current regulations women wanting to end a pregnancy have to go to a registered clinic to collect and take the first pill. The second pill Patient will be given to take at home.
