The first test of coronavirus in the whole city begins in Liverpool – BBC News

The first test of coronavirus testing across the city has begun in Liverpool. Whether anyone who lives or works in the city has symptoms is eligible for the test. The trial aims to assess the extent of the infection and may conduct massive tests in other towns and cities. Meanwhile, new data from the Office for National Statistics suggests that the rate of coronavirus infections across England and Wales is slowing. However, in the last week of October, more than 600,000 people in England were infected with the virus, which is about 90 per cent.
