A police officer is being tested for possible exposure to the nerve agent Novichok in connection with the poisoning of a couple in southwest England last weekend, the hospital said today.
The officer sought "medical advice in connection with the ongoing incident in Amesbury", and was transferred to a hospital in the nearby town of Salisbury for "specialist tests", a spokesperson for Salisbury District Hospital said.
