Boris Johnson Pushes for Covid Tests for All

“Everyone in England will be urged to take a coronavirus test twice a week as a new system of Covid passports is assessed for wide-scale use, under Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s plan to reopen the economy after lockdown,” Bloomberg reports.

“Free test kits will be made available through local pharmacies, community centers and home delivery services, when the new regime goes live on April 9.”

“With most of the adult population now having received a vaccine, the government believes rapid testing of the whole population and a system of Covid status certification will help keep control over the pandemic as restrictions are eased.”
