Up to 80 homeless people tested for Covid-19

Up to 80 homeless people have already been tested for Covid-19 but those behind the initiative have warned that quicker results would allow them to stay ahead of the curve regarding those in emergency accommodation.

Safetynet Primary Care are trained medics who deal with the health needs of rough sleepers and others and its CEO Fiona O'Reilly said its members had prepared weeks in advance by training to carry out the test for the coronavirus.
