International cricket presents a unique set of conditions in the world of COVID-19 testing. The international visiting team needs to be tested at every juncture to minimise the risk of outbreak and train under closely controlled conditions.

Project objectives
Project Screen by Circle had to create a safe environment for international teams to train and play at test match locations across the country, starting with the Ageas Bowl.
The process
Semi-permanent drive-through testing stations were setup in the car parks of major cricket venues including Old Trafford and the Ageas Bowl to test venue staff and teams. Mobile testing units were also used to facilitate the ongoing testing of broadcast staff within the grounds.
