An estimate of 43,000 people may have been given wrong negative PCR COVID-19 test results in Britain, the UK Health Security Agency has said.
The Agency said testing operations provided by Immensa Health Clinic at its laboratory in Wolverhampton have been suspended, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
“It has been suspended following an investigation into reports of people receiving negative PCR test results after they have previously tested positive on a lateral flow.
“The errors relate to test results given to people between September 8 and October 12, mainly in the South West of England but with some cases in the South East and Wales.
“There are no technical issues with test kits themselves and people should continue to test as normal, it said.
