1) Sincere thanks to the people of #Liverpool & @LivUniIPH & @lpoolcouncil for important insights into open-access rapid testing for those without #COVID19 symptoms. Useful when led by local #PublicHealth teams giving testing more value than tests alone: gov.uk/government/pub…
2) Don’t assume everyone has a smartphone or can afford to isolate. People with fewer financial or digital resources were less likely to get tested and more likely to get #COVID19. Take tests to people not people to tests. Support isolation properly. gov.uk/government/pub…
