Boots in Inverness recruiting volunteers to help with Covid-19 coronavirus swab testing
Boots says volunteers are being sought in Inverness to help with swab testing as part of a national drive to boost coronavirus testing.
The company said: "Boots has a strong and trusted heritage in supporting the healthcare of the nation and in this time of need we are stepping forward alongside other partners to work with the government to resource testing stations across the country to test for Covid-19.
"The primary objective is to test essential workers and allow those who test negative to return to work confident in the knowledge they are not positive for coronavirus.
"Screening is currently taking place, however the volumes required to combat the virus are significant and it is clear more support is required for testing.
"Boots along with other partners have been asked to support in a variety of ways to drive the countries efforts on testing.
"We are seeking to recruit volunteers to work as part of a team of test operatives nationally undertaking Covid-19 swab testing in locations across the UK.
"These volunteers will work alongside both Boots teams and other partners/employees in the project with each site having a designated site manager."
Volunteers are required to be in good general health.
They should not be aged over 70, pregnant, have a weakened immune system or a long-term health condition.
