Army Reservists from #Ipswich #colchester and across East Mids @158RegimentRLC mobilised in April with Regulars @7RegtRLC to operate these vital Mobile Testing Units. With thanks to the families and local employers who supported this effort. @suffolkcc @EAEmployers @EADT24

In April 2020, Military engineers were given one week to transform a standard van into a unit fit to deliver coronavirus tests. Mobile Testing Units have since delivered over 700,000 tests. This graphic from the latest issue of @HowItWorksmag shows how testing sites work.
