Testing for Covid19 at school.

Just been watching a programme about a pilot programme at a German school. Each student is tested twice a week for Covid19 and the results are sent back via E mail. If it is successful it may be rolled out nationwide. Will we follow?

Not at all. He's obviously a 'key worker' and should have been tested along with many others. It might have helped him make better decisions about his trip up north.

Peter, I am sure you would have been near the front of the queue complaining if he had of been offered/taken a test

By his own account, not even Cummings was given a test when the virus was sweeping through Downing Street at the end of March.

Not a chance.It's a fiasco, Care Home staff are still not being tested and residents not at all.The way it's being conducted is to elaborate and to unwieldy.IN other countries they have requisitioned Buses to go to Homes and schools to do fast highly mobile testing.First Aiders have been trained to do the tests and others being trained as First Aiders to elevate able manpowerThey have not even considered it here.
