Re: Coronavirus

Quote:
NHS labs across the country that process Covid-19 tests have been hit by shortages of vital chemicals and kit used to test for a range of diseases following a problem at one of Europe’s biggest pharmaceutical companies.

The Swiss pharma giant Roche — one of the biggest suppliers of the machines, chemicals and equipment used to process Covid-19 tests by NHS labs across the UK — wrote to labs on Monday alerting them to the disruption. It blamed an issue at a new “automated warehouse” which had caused “a very significant drop in our processing capacity”.
