Two “game changing” tests for coronavirus and flu – which promise results in 90 minutes – are to be rolled out in hospitals, care homes and laboratories as early as next week. The swab and DNA tests will help deal with the virus in winter, enabling clinicians and NHS Test and Trace to differentiate between Covid-19, which requires sufferers to undergo specific self-isolation, and other seasonal illnesses, Currently around 300,000 tests a day can be processed, but the aim is to get to 500,000. One of the tests is currently being piloted at eight London hospitals with further roll-out in September. The other test, developed in Oxford, is waiting for approval from regulators.
