‘Following further scientific validation of the lateral flow testing modality last week, and confirmation over the weekend from Test and Trace that they can now supply the NHS with sufficient test kits, I am pleased to confirm asymptomatic testing of all patient-facing NHS staff.’
Staff will be provided with DIY at-home testing kits and asked to test themselves twice a week with results available before coming into work. The DIY test kits will be deployed by 34 trusts initially, benefitting over 250 000 staff. The NHS will train all staff appropriately before commencing home testing.
That's 26,000,000 tests per year!
