Key focus at the moment is looking at the risk reward scenario. we see that infection rates are high but obviously we have vaccination three in the uk, and i think the government has to balance about, with us getting back on with life. the government _ getting back on with life. the government has _ getting back on with life. the government has previously argued that pcr tests are needed to keep an eye on variants of concern, and some say they are still needed. i would like to see pcr tests rema...

The argument for pcr testing has been that they are more sensitive, and so can pick—up cases earlier, and, unlike lateral flow tests, they can be used to identify variants of concern. whether the government will scrap pcr tests altogether is still in the balance. the rationale for keeping the pcr testing in particular, rather than lateral flow testing, is it does enable you to do the genome sequencing of potential new variants. and thats been the argument for keeping it as a pcr test. but look...

When these tests are so expensive, why is it that only 5% are actually sequenced? why is it that only 596 are actually sequenced?— sequenced? this 596 figure is one that has been _ sequenced? this 596 figure is one that has been put _ sequenced? this 596 figure is one that has been put out _ sequenced? this 596 figure is one that has been put out by - sequenced? this 596 figure is one that has been put out by huw- that has been put out by huw merriman, and that is not the figure i want to talk...

Its looking at that risk—reward scenario. we are seeing infection rates are high, but obviously we have got the vaccination through in the uk. and i think the government has got to balance that — us getting back on with life. the government has previously argued that pcr tests are needed to keep an eye on variants of concern, and some say they are still needed. i would like to see pcr tests remain, because they have given us so much information already from the sequencing. so we know when de...

Going to boost sales massively. it going to boost sales massively. it is not the only change, so from the 4th of october, fully vaccinated travellers will also not need to take a predeparture lateral flow test before they travel. if youre not double jabbed, it is a very different story stop you will need to take a test before you travel and self—isolate at home for ten days after every international trip, as well as paying for pcr tests. for industry, these changes cannot come soon enough. ind...

So, we definitely believe this change is going to boost sales massively. its not the only change. from the 11th of october, fully—vaccinated travellers will also not need to take a pre—departure lateral flow tester before they travel. if youre not double—jabbed, its a very different story. you will need to take a test before you travel and self—isolate at home for ten days after every international trip, as well as paying for pcr tests. for industry, these changes cant come soon enough. ...

It will give our customers the end of summer they deserve, abroad in the sun. so, yes, we welcome the announcement. but not everyone in the scientific community agrees that pcr tests should be removed. i would like to see pcr tests remain because theyve given us _ so much information already from the sequencing, - so we know that when delta was introduced into the uk, j when the delta variant came in, l that this virus was imported over 500 times, and we wouldnt have the information - if we were...

Very pleased with the announcement, just what we wanted to hear. i think the government has been listening to the industry. we have been interacting with them for some time. its a great piece of news for us. it will give our customers the end of summer they deserve, abroad in the sun. so, yes, we welcome the announcement. but not everyone in the scientific community agrees that pcr tests should be removed. i would like to see pcr tests remain because they have given us so much information alread...
