None of these were registered among students and staff at the three Tórshavn institutions that have been temporarily shut down following a Covid scare.

Almost 300 people were tested yesterday at the temporary test station set up inside the Glasir building, and a further 1,400 are being tested today. All these tests are expected to be completed this afternoon.
