There are 380 staff carrying out swabbing. Laboratories might be more difficult because some of that work is done is hospitals as we know. I understand there are two industrial laboratories involved.
How many staff are involved in testing, either in hospitals or in industrial laboratories, and how much laboratory space is being used? Approximate figures will suffice.
