Helsinki residents will soon have greater access to rapid coronavirus testing, reports Swedish-language Huvfudstadsbladet (HBL).
Authorities at Helsinki and Uusimaa healthcare district HUS are due to roll out a so-called Corona bus that will act as a mobile testing station for city residents. The procurement is now complete and the bus will be ready for use in the next two weeks, perhaps even as soon as next week, HUS Director of Diagnostic Services
Lasse Lehtonen told HBL.
The idea of the bus is to push up testing numbers at locations like construction sites and among immigrant communities which have seen disproportionately high case numbers, HBL writes.
