Households in Southwark and Barnet added to test drive in effort to curb spread of South African variant
Surge testing has been expanded in London to two further postcodes, in a bid to contain the spread of the coronavirus variant first identified in South Africa.
On Tuesday it was announced that surge testing would be carried out in Lambeth and Wandsworth in south London after 44 confirmed cases and 30 further probable cases of Covid involving the “South Africa variant” were found, largely in these areas.
