Construction Enquirer <\/em>writes:<\/p>\n

Fit out contractor Collins Construction has confirmed a 53% positive rate after employees, their families and subcontractors were offered Covid-19 antibody tests.<\/p>\n

The firm linked-up with the private Corona Test Centre to test 231 people last week.<\/p>\n

Full results shared with the Enquirer<\/em> show 53% of the tests \u2013 which show if you have already had Covid-19 \u2013 came back positive.<\/p>\n

Collins Construction director of health and safety Tony Turner said the high level of positive tests was a surprise because most people were unaware they had been ill or showed only minor symptoms.<\/p>\n

He said: \u2018Most cases showed no symptoms and people were unaware they had it\u2026.\u2019<\/p>\n
