Covid testers will be forced to mingle with the public to get their lunch under plans being devised by ministers, MailOnline can reveal. Sodexo circulated this letter to its staff at Covid testing sites. 'Sodexo have requested that DHSC review their decision and to reconsider the current end date for the funding of staff food provisions.' 'I'm sure the risks (of a Covid outbreak) are low because Covid testers are wearing PPE, but this is just an unnecessary risk,' he told MailOnline. Safety precautions are taken on sites to reduce the risk of testers catching Covid, including wearing PPE, face masks and regularly swabbing staff for the virus.
