TESTING: Professor David Green welcomed the testing news STUDENTS at Worcester University will be offered free coronavirus tests when they return from their Christmas break. The testing is being funded through a central government investment of up to £20 million to allow testing to be carried out. Professor David Green CBE, the uni’s vice chancellor and chief executive, said: "Over the past week and a half, we have been working with Public Health Worcestershire to offer Lateral Flow Tests to students who are returning home for the festive period. "The tests have been available to all and we very strongly particularly encouraged students returning home to a household where there is a potentially Covid-vulnerable person, due to age or health condition, to take the tests.
