THE UK Government has commissioned PA Consulting to develop plans to scale up manufacturing of lateral flow device (LFD) Covid-19 tests.
According to
The Financial Times, the £6.2m (US$8.5m) contract is mainly for PA Consulting to find suitable British manufacturers of LFD tests, with the aim of scaling up to producing 2m tests a day by April.
The UK has primarily been using imported LFD tests from the US, Korea, and China, the majority of which has come from US company Innova Medical Group. According to
The Financial Times, 2m tests were bought by the Government earlier this month from SureScreen, which is the first UK-produced LFD test. The Government is keen to scale up domestic production of the rapid tests.
If you thought Love Is Blind was the tip of the iceberg for how wild Netflix could get with its dating shows then think again, because Netflix is now launching a remake of the old BBC Three show “Sexy Beasts”.
If you’re not familiar with the concept, it’s a bit like Love Is Blind meets Masked Singer, as the aim is to focus on the personality of the person you are on a date with and not their looks – as they’re in a huge mask. Those who take part in the show will go on dates disguised in Hollywood-grade prosthetics, a bit like those used on Masked Singer.

AFF said its plans for the next 12 months would see it explore affordable snacking NPD and refine its existing cheese alternative lines
Abergavenny Fine Foods has unveiled plans to double its production capacity over the next three years through a multimillion-pound investment at its Blaenavon site.
The development, which is currently at the planning stage but could see work begin this year, would see the addition of a third production line and the enhancement of ‘outbound areas’ at the factory, according to the supplier’s MD Jason Rees.
Through this investment and a greater focus on its plant-based offering, the Welsh company said it hoped to grow its market share for its added-value dairy and meat alternatives in chillers and freezers across the mults.
