Thats good! If Cyprus has this new type of rapid test, I wonder why the UK hasn't got it?

If you read the article it’s not a new test. They are putting laboratory conditions in place at the airport. It sounds great but in practice when more planes arrive I can’t see how it will work. Imagine planes arriving from UK in the early hours, fractious children on board & then waiting several more hours for a test. Paphos airport isn’t big enough either.
