Care home testing scheme begins in England
A pilot scheme, using rapid-result Covid tests, is underway at 20 care homes across England.
Families are now able to touch their loved ones for the first time since March.
The test only takes 30 minutes and could be the solution to ending many months of separation.
The Government hopes that families will be able to visit elderly relatives in care homes across England by Christmas.
