LONDON (Reuters) – Britain will begin using an antibody test for COVID-19 in coming days, focusing its use on health workers and carers, England’s Deputy Chief Medical Officer Jonathan Van-Tam said on Thursday.
“I anticipate that it will be rapidly rolled out in the days and weeks to come,” he said referring to a test produced by Swiss drugmaker Roche Holding AG <ROG.S>.
“I also anticipate that the focus will be on the National Health Service and on carers in the first instance.”
