No Manx Covid tests were sent to facility under investigation

Site in Wolverhampton is under investigation

The Department of Health and Social Care says no Covid tests were sent from the Isle of Man to the Immensa Laboratory in Wolverhampton.

The facility has been under investigation after claims that mistakes made by staff at the private facility may have caused 23 extra deaths from Covid19

It's thought as many as 39,000 positive results were wrongly reported as negative in September and October 2021.

A report from the UK Health Security Agency says each incorrect negative test was likely to have led to just over two additional infections.
