She said: "I am a Warwickshire phlebotomist of 20 years’ experience, I never thought I would be being asked about antibody tests for a virus that has changed so many lives.

"Currently unavailable on the NHS, I have spent a lot of time researching different labs, tests, and costs for those prepared to pay for a test privately.

"I have now teamed up with a first-class lab that I can work with directly.
