A hospital in Somerset has stopped accepting new patients due to a high number of coronavirus cases.

Apparently 40% of asymptomatic staff there tested postive.

It reminds me of when we had the peak here in London. Hope you guys are ok Flowers

When the testing first started to be widened @Quarantino, asymptomatic health and care staff, asymptomatic in patients and care home residents were included.
Whether that testing has happened, or not, I've no idea.
IMHO, there would need to be a rolling programme of regular (?weekly) testing to make that of any use to those groups of people, otherwise, negative on Wednesday, catch it on Friday.
