Omega Diagnostics has today confirmed that is undergoing a big recruitment drive after it revealed that it is making progress in building up its capacity with a view to producing up to 100,000 rapid COVID-19 tests per week as planned.
Speaking to ShareBuyers last week, Omega Diagnostics CEO Colin King confirmed plans to be able to produce 100,000 COVID-19 tests per week in September as the firm gets ready for a commercial ramp up for this as well as other products in development. Production could also scale up to 200,000 tests per week in October.
A tweet from Omega Diagnostics added further reassurance that it will be able to handle the planned capacity – showing insight into its lab and noting that a big recruitment drive is happening ahead of its imminent large-scale manufacturing kit that is due to arrive soon.
