Emergency Government Antiviral Posting (England)
We have just released 2 briefs, one for processing and one for deliveries, available from your line manager that detail an emergency government antiviral posting for England.
Headline details:
- Expect an increase in purple PCR test kits for delivery starting from tomorrow night into Wednesday that will run up to and including 31st December.
- Some of the these kits will be specifically for the vulnerable as have been targeted for the posting as they may benefit from new additional antiviral treatment if they test positive for CV19
- However, we do not expect these completed PCRs to produce significantly high return volumes as any returns will be staggered over a period of time.
If you don't work in England, please give the briefs a read as if you share any borders with England you may see an increase attributed to these kits. There's also the wider point that we are seeing a surge in volumes in general due to Omicron, unrelated to the antiviral posting
Please refer to the briefs for more details- thanks all
