The government sees regular testing as a vital part of its roadmap to cautiously ease restrictions.
Around one in three people with coronavirus don’t have symptoms, which means they could be spreading the virus in workplaces without knowing. Rapid testing detects cases quickly – in under 30 minutes – meaning positive cases can isolate immediately, breaking chains of transmission. The government views regular testing to be extremely important and could be the difference between a workplace being able to stay open and operational, or needing to close due to a Covid-19 outbreak.
