Amazon has also announced its intention to test UK frontline staff for the coronavirus to combat the emergence of new variants.

Thanks to the rollout of effective vaccines, the UK is approaching a full reopening of its economy after a long lockdown. However, the delta variants first identified in India are spreading, including those run by Amazon.
Luke Meredith, director of the UK’s Amazon Diagnostic Laboratory, has not refused to make the testing program available to British citizens in the coming months.

“I don’t think we can rule out anything at this point. It’s a decision that has to be decided, but for now I just want to focus on the staff,” Meredith added.
