Hundreds of UK NHS workers being checked for Covid-19 this weekend
Being able to rapidly test key workers for coronavirus on Island would increase capacity to tackle the illness.
That's the view of Education Minister Dr Alex Allinson, as scientists in the hospital's laboratory continue work to develop a test.
The UK has been working to bring in anti-body tests, and has been testing self-isolating NHS workers this weekend to see if some can return to work.
Dr Allinson is keen to see a similar programme introduced here:
Broadband provider's licensed revoked by CURA
Restaurant worker in £85k incapacity benefit fraud
People urged to share their thoughts on Island's Mental Health Service
Manx Care interim operations director to leave next month
Almost 38,000 passengers used ferry services to travel to Island during TT
