COVID tests
The Virgin Media BAFTAs were held at the famous television centre in White City. Over 400 attendees and event staff would need to be tested in the run up to the event. Only those with a negative COVID test result would be able to participate in the show.
For Talent, Project Screen provided home PCR testing delivered by trained medical professionals in the run up to the event. For crew, Lateral Flow Antigen testing was set up for everyone on-site. Those with a positive test result would be confirmed via on-site PCR testing in a purpose-built Prenetics lab.
The typical test turnaround time for an on-site individual was less than 30 minutes from start to finish. Results were delivered via the Project Screen by Prenetics app so that all crew would have a digital record of their result, providing access to relevant areas. From set-up to take-down, the show went on as planned and celebrated British television in all its glory!
