Surge testing sites have been set up in South London after dozens of cases of the South African variant were discovered this week.
Extra coronavirus testing is being rolled out in two parts of Wandsworth after cases of the South African Covid variant were confirmed. In a statement on Wednesday (March 10), Wandsworth Council confirmed cases had been identified in parts of Roehampton and Putney Heath ward, and St Mary’s Park ward in Battersea. A statement continued: All cases are now self-isolating and robust contact tracing has taken place to trace their contacts and ask them to self-isolate. You will receive a letter through your door if you are in one of the affected areas. Tracking and controlling variants is very important for ensuring the success of the vaccination programme. There is currently no evidence to suggest this variant is more serious than others, or that the regulated vaccine would not protect against it.
