Foodstuffs to make rapid antigen testing available to staff

Supermarket giant Foodstuffs says it wants to make rapid antigen tests available to staff across its stores, after it participated in a successful trial of the Covid-19 tests. While they're not as accurate as the nasal swab PCR tests that have been a mainstay of New Zealand's defence against the virus, the speed and ease of the rapid antigen test has seen them widely used in other countries. The government's been trialling the tests with 29 businesses including Foodstuffs. Our reporter Nita Blake-Persen asked the company's North Island chief executive, Chris Quin, how it went.
