thedailymirror--2020-11-12--Mass roll out of new £5 Covid tests could see UK 'return to normal in weeks'

New £5 pregnancy-style coronavirus tests which produce results in minutes could pave the way for millions of Brits to return to normal life in weeks .
The inexpensive DIY kits have proved 95 percent accurate at picking up infections and could be a game changer in the fight against the pandemic .
It would mean daily `` freedom passes '' , allowing for people to return to football stadiums and live gigs , as well as giving a vital shot in the arm to the ailing night club industry .
A Government source told The Sun that resultant on-the-spot checks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` help us to get towards a normal life in spring '' .
Hundreds of thousands of mass testing Covid tests will be rolled out in 67 towns and cities across the UK allowing for results in just 15 minutes .
While the Government will green light the shipping out of millions more if a pilot scheme testing everyone in Liverpool - one of the worst hit areas - proves successful .
It would see a huge proportion of the country receiving results who have previously never been tested , with scientists estimating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 90 percent .
Professor Sir John Bell , part of the UK Vaccine Taskforce , said : `` These inexpensive , easy to use tests can play a major role in our fight against Covid-19 .
`` They identify those who are likely to spread the disease and when used systematically in mass testing could reduce transmissions by 90 per cent .
`` They will be detecting disease in large numbers of people who have never previously even received a test . ''
Sir John , the outgoing chairman of the Office for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also predicted Britain could have two or three vaccines available by Christmas .
The Pfizer/BioNTech jab - which hasn ’ t yet passed regulator tests - has been shown to effectively prevent the virus in 90 percent of cases during trials in a major vaccine break through .
The Oxford-AstraZeneca alternative is understood to be just a few weeks behind .
Prime Minister Boris Johnson warned the nation this week that a vaccine breakthrough is n't the end of the UK 's pandemic nightmare .
But he did later tell the Commons a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ arm the UK with `` two boxing gloves to pummel the disease '' .
On Tuesday Britain recorded 595 deaths , the biggest toll since May , with Chief Medical Officer Professor Chris Whitty warning any potential vaccine wo n't stem the current wave of infections .
