RE: 3.84m tests for egypt from the UK18 May 2020 20:12
Wooooooooooosh now it makes sense the 10m tests a month. The UK is going to fund/back and push Novacyt tests globally for the support effort makes perfect sense. Get ready for more and more massive orders
On 4 May, the UK co-hosted the Global Response Summit and raised USD8bn in pledges to combat COVID-19. The UK is also leading the way to make coronavirus vaccines and treatments available to all. On 4 June, the UK will host a virtual summit that aims to boost the global supply of a vaccine once one is approved for use, to help prevent a second wave of the pandemic.
The UK is the G7 lead on support to vulnerable countries, and has confirmed a responsive funding package of more than GBP700m, including a GBP130m contribution to the UN, GBP65m of which is allocated to the World Health Organisation (WHO).
