On-island testing for coronavirus is now available in Jersey.
Previously samples had been sent to the UK which took up to 48 hours for results to come back.
However Jersey is now able to carry out its own testing with patients being given their result on the same day.
The Infection and Molecular Sciences Lab at Jersey General Hospital will work 24 hours a day, seven days a week and employees have extended their hours to carry out testing.
At first health workers will be prioritised for testing.
A total of 150,000 antibody tests are expected to arrive in the Island later thismonth.
