A 53-year-old man has appeared at a virtual court to deny sending a package to a Covid vaccine factory, which forced the plant to be evacuated.
Anthony John Collins, from Chatham, is accused under a 1977 Act of despatching the package intending the receiver to believe it might explode or burst into flames.
