At-home testing kit firm Newfoundland Diagnostics is launching a range of Strep A tests in Tesco and pharmacy stores nationwide to help head off shortages that caused chaos amid an outbreak last winter.
UK-based Newfoundland said it has secured supplies from manufacturers in Switzerland for up to a million tests, which it estimates is enough for around 30% of the nation’s requirements, or 90% of the at-home testing market.
