Coronavirus: Former PM Tony Blair says 'virtually everybody' in UK may have to be tested for COVID19
GP Richard van Mellaerts said more widespread testing was needed.
"And it's so crucial with healthcare workers that we know who's infected, who's not, who's immune, who's not. So that we can get as many people back out into the workforce as quickly as possible." "I don't know the exact proportion of nurses in that, 20% to 25%, so there are a number of nurses who would like to be tested to get on with their job if they are not positive for COVID-19."The search for a vaccine is continuing and there are at least eight"in the pipeline", according to former chief scientific adviser Sir Mark Walport.
