Rapid Coronavirus tests

From next week, the government will roll out millions of ground-breaking rapid coronavirus tests to hospitals and care homes across the UK - increasing testing capacity and further strengthening our coronavirus response ahead of winter.

  • As we prepare for winter, we will ensure that our NHS and care homes have the most innovative technologies available to them - to aid in the ongoing battle against coronavirus and continuing to save lives.
     
  • These two groundbreaking new tests – both able to detect the virus in just 90 minutes – do not require a trained health professional to operate them, meaning they can be rolled out in more non-clinical settings.
     
  • Alongside our hugely increased testing capacity, we will ensure that our NHS and care homes get the backing they need to continue to support and care for our loved ones and save lives throughout the winter and beyond.

current leak doing the rounds:

"You can't meet with another person from outside your own family with an A or an R in their name unless its a Wednesday. You can meet with some but not all family members unless its the third monday after pancake Tuesday. People under 5 foot 11 are not allowed to go to a pub unless they have brown hair. All cat owners are exempt from the above unless the cat is ginger. Obviously"

Whilst people are joking about the current advise and even'laws', realilty is often portraid though humour. Time for a rethink maybe?

Trying to get the balance right between letting the economy function and keeping this damn bug under control was never going to be easy.

Hence we need to improve our track and trace arrangements which is what the government is trying to do.
