Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Coronavirus (COVID-19): getting tested
section_headers: Who can be tested
section_content: If you’re in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland and have any of the
symptoms of coronavirus, you can ask for a test through the NHS
website.
The following groups of people can access priority testing through GOV.UK:

essential workers in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
anyone in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland over 5 years old who has symptoms of coronavirus and lives with an essential worker
children under 5 years old in England who have symptoms of coronavirus and live with an essential worker (this test must be performed by a parent or guardian)

See the guidance on testing for essential workers and the list of essential
workers below.
Tests for essential workers are prioritised over the tests available for the
wider public through the NHS.
In England, you can get tested if you’re a social care worker or resident in a
care home whether you have symptoms or not. See the guidance below on testing
for care home residents and workers.
There is further information available on tests in
Scotland, Wales and Northern
Ireland.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This does not answer the question. This answer contains information on what groups of people can access priority testing for covid-19, including essential workers. However, it does not list or explain which essential workers should get priority testing. Instead, it recommends to view the list of essential workers which is not included in the answer.
This just says that essential workers get priority testing. It doesn't say what kind of essential workers should get priority testing.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer is irrelevant to the question. The question is asking for information on what kind of essential workers should get priority testing. However, this answer provides information on how the covid-19 testing is done.
This is general information about the test itself. It has nothing to do with the quesiton.
