More Than 1,500 Rapid Lateral Tests Carried Out On The Isle Of Wight
By Jamie White
More than 1,500 Rapid COVID-19 lateral tests have been carried out for people without symptoms of the virus at the Island s test centres.
Around one in three people with coronavirus have no symptoms, and could be spreading the disease without knowing it, so residents are being urged to make use of the new test sites to help fight the spread of the virus.
The centres enable people to conduct free lateral tests taking less than 30 minutes to complete.

Tony Harries, from the Winefullness Magazine and Circle of Wine Writers, reflects on a challenging time for the hospitality industry and chats to publican Rob Smith. “I WAKE up in the morning and don’t know if somebody is going to kick me where it hurts,” says Robb Smith, a veteran of the hospitality industry and owner of three pubs, including The Vine Inn, in Black Notley. He seems to be representative of the growing number of people in the hospitality industry who think the Government has forgotten they exist. “I came here from South Africa in 1986 and walked the streets of Bournemouth, looking for work, before I realised the hospitality industry was for me,” said Robb.
