Proactive surge testing needed to get ahead of Covid variants spread | Dumbarton and Vale of Leven Reporter

Proactive surge testing for new Covid-19 variants is needed to help officials “get ahead of the infection”, a public health director has said. Professor Kevin Fenton, London’s regional director of Public Health England (PHE), said more genetic sequencing of positive coronavirus tests had identified cases of the South African variant in the capital. Additional testing facilities have been set up in parts of London to process hundreds of thousands of residents following the detection of cases of the variant of concern. On Wed 14 April, 2,491 new cases and 38 deaths within 28 days of a positive test were reported across the UK.

Use garlic-breath distancing to stay Covid-safe, says expert

Use ‘garlic-breath distancing’ to stay Covid-safe, says expert Sarah Marsh © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: Geoffrey Swaine/Rex/Shutterstock People should use the “garlic-breath distance” to decipher whether they are close enough to another person for coronavirus transmission to occur, an expert has said. Dr Julian Tang, a consultant virologist at the Leicester Royal Infirmary and the author of a new study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), stressed that governments and health leaders should “focus their efforts on airborne transmission”. Asked if focusing on hand-washing and sanitising was wrong, he said the emphasis was not correct. Speaking on Sky News, he said: “So the message ‘hands, face, space’, we think should be really ‘space, space, hands’. The way this virus transmits is really through conversational distance, within one metre.
