Boost for Boris's testing 'moonshot' as government secures 20 million 'game-changing' 15-minute swab kits and starts rolling them out to hospital staff
Government secured 20 million antigen tests validated by Public Health England
The 'game changing' swab kit said to provide 100% specificity in 15 minutes
Tests to be used regularly on hospital staff to help pick up asymptomatic cases

The government has secured up to 20 million 'game changing' 15-minute testing kits to be fast-tracked to the frontline of the fight against Covid-19.
The Innova Sars-Cov-2 Antigen Test , made by Innova Tried and Tested , is less complicated than the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, meaning it does not need to be sent to a laboratory. (Note: triedandtested.tech is a British company that administers tests. Are their services part of the package? They are a test delivery system that can set up many testing centers quickly as part of the Test Ecosystem that Squires is building.)
It uses lateral flow technology to provide rapid results that could help open up places such as airports, theatres other public areas.

Notes- no mention of QMC supplying QDX HealthID but last week Squires said its health status system was bundled with the test kit.
I am not sure if this is another test-trial or if Innova is the chosen company to provide tests. 20 million tests is a good start!
