Scientists who handle some of the most deadly substances in the world have described the trepidation they felt when starting to research coronavirus.
The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) at the secretive Porton Down, near Salisbury, has been helping in the fight against the disease ever since the pandemic began.
Founded in 1916, the unique and expansive high-security site in the middle of the Wiltshire countryside is the oldest chemical warfare research centre in the world.
Its highly trained scientists are, with strict safety measures in place, used to handling some of the most dangerous known substances like Ebola, Anthrax, the nerve agent Novichok and plague - all of which are highly dangerous and deadly.
THE Welsh Ambulance Service has been shortlisted for a respected national award. The Trust is a finalist in the Innovation, Science and Technology category at the St David Awards 2021 for its research and work into the rapid sanitisation of emergency ambulances during the Covid-19 pandemic in partnership with the Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI). Jonathan Turnbull-Ross, Assistant Director of Quality Governance at the Welsh Ambulance Service, said: “At the early stage of the Covid-19 pandemic, less was known about the virus, including how to effectively sanitise environments which had been exposed to it. “Whilst sanitisation and decontamination products were available, testing of their efficacy, specifically against Covid-19 was not widely established.
