With everyone living in Wandsworth being urged to get tested for Covid 19, the council has confirmed that PCR test kits are being distributed to the borough’s secondary schools and further education providers for their staff, students and parents.
With lockdown restrictions having eased this week, coronavirus infection rates are still relatively low across southwest London – though Croydon has recorded a small rise in cases.
Concerns over the comparatively low percentage of care home staff being vaccinated against coronavirus in Wandsworth persist even as the borough fights to control an outbreak of the highly infectious 'South African' variant of Covid-19.
