When they tested staff in my local hospital 50% of the A&E staff were confirmed positive with Coronavirus . Just shows how important it is to test frontline staff to prevent them passing it onto the sickest patients in hospitals

My daughter works 'frontline' and had to get tested last week due to a cough, she's negative, but has been testing colleagues since Feb, without the staff no one gets better. NHS staff are getting tested at first signs with family invited to be tested otherwise you only get a test if admitted to hospital.
