- A
revised and updated coronavirus testing strategy has been published today
by Health Minister Vaughan Gething.
- The
original testing strategy was published in July 2020 and has been revised
in light of our greater understanding of the virus, the development of
new testing technology and the roll-out of our vaccination programme. The
new strategy also expands our testing approach to include more regular
testing for NHS and care home staff and patients in hospitals.
