More workers will be able to avoid self-isolation if they are a contact of a Covid case as the government expands workplace testing in England.
Police, firefighters, Border Force staff, transport and freight workers were already eligible for exemption from self-isolation in some cases.
But their employers needed to specify the workers' names, and they had to be double-jabbed.
Now they will be able to join the daily contact workplace testing scheme.
Fifteen testing sites were initially announced - although they won't be running until at least Monday.
The government has now announced "an expected initial 200 new testing sites", and the wider range of eligible sectors.
