By Louise Cullen
Covid-19 testing for people in the workplace is to be expanded.
The workforce asymptomatic testing programme is now open to all organisations with 10 or more employees or volunteers, who cannot work from home.
Health Minister Robin Swann welcomed the announcement in a statement. This is a significant move in the testing programme as up to one third of people who have coronavirus are asymptomatic, he said. My department is focusing on rapidly identifying these people to isolate and reduce transmission of the virus. This will be essential as Northern Ireland moves out of lockdown.
