NHS Grampian COVID-19 testing
Dear Grampian NHS Board,
In answer to my request of 3 April 2020 asking for information on the footage taken by the BBC on 27 March, NHS Grampian's response included this:
"Is (or was) COVID-19 testing undertaken in this laboratory? No, COVID testing was not undertaken in the section of the laboratory where the footage was filmed. However, COVID testing at the time of the footage was being carried out in a different section of this laboratory. "
My question is: In which section of Aberdeen Royal Infirmary's virology laboratory was the footage filmed, please?
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
George Winter
