British Army Assist at Drive-Thru Coronavirus Testing Center in Glasgow

British Army personnel assisted in collecting samples to test National Health Service staff for the coronavirus in a makeshift drive-thru facility at Glasgow Airport on April 8 as the United Kingdom ramped up attempts to test more people per day.

According to the Ministry of Defence, the facility in Scotland “was introduced to test frontline NHS staff and is not open to the public. The new testing centre can have up to five lanes open and provides capacity for a greater number of COVID-19 tests each day. It operates between 10 am and 4.30 pm.”

As of April 8, 60,733 people have tested positive for the coronavirus in the UK; 7,097 people have died from COVID-19. Credit: UK Ministry of Defence via Storyful
