UK secures deal with pharma giant Roche for antibodies tests.
British health care workers will be the first to be tested for coronavirus antibodies after the government reached a deal with Roche to procure the test kits. 
Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s spokesman said today that the UK and the giant pharmaceutical company had agreed on deal, a week after the national health agency approved the tests for use.
The tests will be free and more details will be released later during a daily government coronavirus briefing, he said.
The UK currently has the fourth most coronavirus cases, according to the John Hopkins University tally on the pandemic.
