Workplace Covid tests expanded
10 February 2021
Businesses with more than 50 employees can now access Covid ‘rapid’ lateral flow tests which give results in less than 30 minutes. Previously, only businesses with more than 250 employees qualified.
Health secretary Matt Hancock is urging both businesses and employees to take up the offer and says firms should be regularly testing staff.
A government website allows companies whose employees cannot work from home to register for coronavirus tests for their employees.
Ministers are also discussing plans to vaccinate millions of people under 50 years old at work in a ‘jabs at work’ plan. Roving vaccination teams would go to places of work to speed up the vaccination of around 30 million younger adults.
