The Infection Control Fund doesn't mention anything about mass testing? Its aimed more at halting the spread of the virus in care homes by providing PPE equipment, a named clinical lead in each care home and a wellbeing package on CARE Workforce app to support the workforce with Hospice UK and Samaritans.
Below is the small section on testing
Testing
All symptomatic and asymptomatic care home staff and residents in England are already eligible for testing, and testing is prioritised for care homes that look after the over 65s. The new digital portal now enables care homes to register for the delivery and collection of test kits directly.
