Some initial studies show the Delta variant spreads more easily.\nAmazon's testing is available to around 30,000 front-line staff in Britain, working in warehouses and logistics. The British lab has already processed more than 900,000 tests since it opened in September, including from its sites in Europe.\nMeredith, who previously worked for the World Health Organization and the University of Cambridge, said Public Health England had been eager to receive the additional data to help track the spread of variants.\nAsked if Amazon would make the testing facilities available to the public in Britain, where the cost of private testing can run into hundreds of pounds for international travel, Meredith said it was too soon to say.\n\"I don't think we can rule anything out at this point in time, that's a decision that will have to be made, but for now we just want to focus on our staff,\" he said.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":111452332,"gmtCreate":1622694893326,"gmtModify":1704189106496,"author":{"id":"3571889549699411","authorId":"3571889549699411","name":"Vilianty
