At last! A laboratory in Milton has been contracted by the Department of Health and Social Care and can now provide testing services for Covid-19 to care homes in Cambridgeshire.

Cambridge Clinical Laboratories (CCL) will initially be offering its services primarily to Cambridgeshire care homes. The test will determine whether a person has an active COVID-19 infection and should be isolated, and can be ordered weekly.

This service is not available for private individuals or the general public but is excellent and much-needed news for local care homes.
