These are the first pictures from XPO Logistics after coronavirus testers were sent into the Swindon depot.
It came after 30 employees at the Iceland distribution centre, which employs 750 people, tested positive for the virus.
A mobile coronavirus testing unit was sent to the site this morning. It is expected to remain at the depot for four days.
Steve Maddern, Swindon Borough Council’s director of public health, said: “The offer of testing to everybody who works on site is a precautionary measure, but it is important that we act to help stop the spread of the virus within our workplaces and the local community in Swindon."
