LOCAL TESTING TO START FOR THREE COVID-19 VARIANTS

Local testing is to begin soon for three COVID-19 variants of concern.

That announcement has been made by Dr Lester Simon, who is head of the Laboratory at Sir Lester Bird Mount St. John’s Medical Centre.

He says his team will detect variants first identified in the UK, South Africa, and Brazil.

ABS’s Jamie J Roacher recaps Dr Simon’s comments on House Calls last evening.
