Surge testing squads are on standby in Suffolk if a strain of the Covid-19 variant from South Africa is found in the county.
This week,
surge testing began in Diss and Roydon on the Suffolk/Norfolk border amid concerns the South Africa variant had been found there.
Surge testing is an increased form of testing in specific communities, which involves door-to-door testing where needed, to scope out who may have been infected by the virus and contain its spread as quickly as possible.
