Hospital staff may be carrying SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 disease, without realising they are infected, according to a study by researchers at the �������������Ī.

Governments and health agencies should reconsider the current guidelines with regards to widespread mask use in the COVID-19 pandemic and recommend that masks be worn by everyone, argue a team of researchers at the �������������Ī

One of �������������Ī’s newest institutes, established to study the relationship between infectious disease and our immune systems, is leading the �������������Ī’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with over 150 scientists and clinicians, the UK’s largest academic Containment Level 3 Facility, and a range of collaborators from across the UK and beyond. 

A new rapid diagnostic test for COVID-19, developed by a �������������Ī spinout company and capable of diagnosing the infection in under 90 minutes, is being deployed at �������������Ī hospitals, ahead of being launched in hospitals nationwide.
