Amazon ditches COVID testing at all US warehouses
In a sign of normality, US Amazon warehouses are suspending on-site COVID-19 testing
Amazon has informed workers that it will end on-site COVID-19 testing at its US warehouses.
The online retail giant says it has seen confidence in America’s rollout of vaccines while urging employees they can still get tested at health clinics.
The company opened a massive testing operation saying in October that it planned to handle 50,000 tests per day across 650 sites.
Amazon was a leading corporation in America to offer testing to staff, with health experts indicating the initiative helped alleviate pressure on public testing sites.
Vaccine rollout praised with confidence
The USA’s coronavirus vaccine rollout has been applauded by leaders right around the world including the World Health Organisation.
President Joe Biden has been on a mission to vaccinate the majority of America by the end of the year – and that target is on track for success.
