Collaboration with NHS will be trialled at 40 sites including factories and stores
John Lewis is working with the NHS to organise free Covid-19 testing for staff at 40 of its sites – including warehouses and stores – in a pilot scheme that could be taken up by other firms and schools.
The business, which also owns Waitrose supermarkets, has been testing lateral flow tests at its Magna Park distribution centre in Milton Keynes since November, and is testing up to 1,000 members of staff up to three times a week. Only four have so far tested positive for the virus.
