BRITAIN is pumping £500 million into trials of rapid Covid-19 tests and into population-testing for the disease, the health ministry said on Thursday (3).
Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said he hoped mass testing using faster Covid-19 tests could be rolled out towards the end of the year, adding that they were key to restoring freedoms after months of Covid-19 restrictions.
“I want to solve the problem by having the next generation tests at a radically bigger scale. You can’t do that on the current technology very easily,” he told BBC television.
Asked when it would be available for everyone, he said: “Over the coming weeks and months ahead. We’re starting the roll out today.”
