Staff were informed on Tuesday.
Staff were upset at hearing the news, with one member of staff saying they were proud to have helped during the pandemic, but feel money and a workforce is now being being wasted.Labour MP for Warwick and Leamington Spa Matt Western told BBC News he wanted answers about the running of the lab, amid reports the project had cost more than £1bn.
"At the time it was not clear whether this way going to be an NHS facility or a private facility," he said."They kept them as agency workers, because clearly, it was very convenient for them to be so because given they're now facing four weeks' notice they can be disposed of and that's desperately tragic."
