Canary Wharf, London: As Covid-19 cases rise, The Regenerative Clinic in Cabot Place has brought opening time forward to deal with the trend of city workers testing before starting work each day.
Office workers returning to their desks have begun daily testing using both PCR and lateral flow. Once they receive certified confirmation of their Covid-19 status they go to work in the office. The new 7am start will enable those people who wish to have an hour-long turnaround for testing before they start their working day. Early openings also coincide with the end of the NHS free testing service, and a commitment to ensure workplaces feel supported with testing options going forward.
Simon Checkley, CEO, The Regenerative Clinic, said; “Proof of Covid-19 status within city businesses is very important to normal functioning. We noticed this trend emerging in February and were surprised to see large queues when we opened the doors each morning. These people wanted testing and confirmation of status before they went into their workplaces. We know that city workers are highly motivated people, many early risers and we have heard that many of them are swapping their early morning gym sessions to get tested.”
