The Netherlands is ramping up testing for the new coronavirus with drive-in locations for healthcare personnel, including one site at an ice rink.
“In the summer this ice rink is not used. This is a very suitable location to test people in a safe and hygienic way,” Derk Burger, of the local health authority GGD told Reuters. He added some 100 people a day were tested at the site.
Last week the Dutch government announced it would ramp up testing capacity from some 4,000 tests a day to 17,500.
