Design Freeze RNS28 Jun 2020 20:42
Don’t expect it to be a 7am RNS. IMHO it is highly unlikely to be. More likely it will be intraday and timed to be either after or in co-ordination with a specific UK-RTC press announcement and possibly in conjunction with the Health Minister. I don’t think BoJo will be involved. We must not forget this is just a milestone, an important one of course, but it’s not the commercialisation of the Test where mass distribution commences. Thus no point in PM involvement at this stage. Following DF There will be a period of validation/independent verification and finally approval by PHE which hopefully will happen before end August.
And then it’s all systems go!
