UK health authorities are carrying out the country’s “largest surge testing operation” so far to curb the spread of the South African variant of the CCP virus in parts of South London, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said on Monday.
Extra testing and genomic sequencing are taking place across parts of South London, mainly in the boroughs of Wandsworth and Lambeth, where a cluster of cases of the mutant virus have been found since early March.
