Article by reporter Erin Lyons dated 1st May 2020 about ‘False negative’ fears at Oxford's coronavirus testing site:- Thornhill Park and Ride. Oxford’s ‘shambolic’ coronavirus drive-through testing site could lead to false negatives for key workers.
Concerns have been raised over a lack of medical staff on site to administer throat and nasal swab tests at the Thornhill Park and Ride facility, which opened fully on Saturday. Serco, which ran the site for the Department of Health and Social Care and undertook
testing, defended the facility.
