Problems at a private lab in the UK may have misrepresented that 43,000 of them were not infected with Govit-19.
The UK Department of Public Health said operations at the Wolverhampton Laboratory in central England had been halted following “false negative” reports. There have been erroneous results in tests analyzed by the Immensa Health Clinic Laboratory since early September this week.
“About 400,000 samples were analyzed by the lab, most of which showed negative results, but about 43,000 may have had negative results in PCR tests,” the body says, emphasizing that it is mainly the population of the south of the UK.
That’s what the Health Commission says “An Isolated Incident Causes a Laboratory” And affected people can be contacted for a new test.
On the other hand, at West Berkshire Council in the UK, local officials said they would re-test those who tested negative after testing from October 3 to 12 at the Newbury Showground, a public service facility.
In the UK, one million Covid-19 tests are performed daily. Since last week, more than 40,000 infections have been estimated per day.
