MORE than 6,500 tests have been carried out as part of the community testing scheme in Holyhead and Holy Island. The multi-agency Incident Management Team was set-up to respond to high coronavirus rate in the Anglesey area and introduced a comprehensive community-testing programme on Sunday, March 21. Since then thousands of rapid lateral flow, door-to-door and community centre tests have been administered with a total of 40 confirmed cases. Health experts maintain that continued testing of residents and workers will remain after the number of new cases in Holyhead and Holy Island remains higher than the national average. Testing is being delivered in partnership between the Welsh Government, UK Government, Isle of Anglesey County Council, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB), Public Health Wales, Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust, local volunteers and the Ministry of Defence, with logistical support from the Armed Forces.
