The British government has promised, it will dramatically coronavirus increase test to 100,000 per day until The End of the month.

It was criticised because it did not test more people already, as countries such as Germany, 50,000 Tests per day.

Daily coronavirus-Tests passed 10,000 people per day in the UK on Thursday, may 2. April , as capacity increased tenfold in just four weeks?

What are the UK Tests prevents and more people?

There are many different pieces to The Puzzle when It Comes to working large-scale Tests .

you will need The Laboratory space, as well as enough and The Right kind Of Machines .

you need to extract the correct reagent highly specific substances to study the genetic material of The Virus and make it easier to.

to apply you need to take employees to the swabs from patients ' noses or throats, and the staff in The Laboratory Tests .

And you have the logistics in place., samples from patients labs

We are talking about diagnostic Tests , to find out whether you have The Virus , Here - those who have a nose or throat swab, sent to a laboratory.

antibody Tests to look for blood evidence, you have already had The Virus , But these are unlikely to be on a large enough scale In Time to be a part of the 100,000 opponents.

At first, only a small number of Public Health laboratories, which were used to do coronavirus-Tests .

In The Past two weeks, This Was extended to a further 40 NHS labs around the UK.

Now, the government says that it will begin to use The Laboratory capacity of private companies for the implementation of coronavirus-Tests .

the UK has a large pharmaceutical and biomedical industry, whose capacity could "easily" that the country has more Tests than it is now, according to Dr Rupert Beale, who was involved in the development of a diagnostic test for coronavirus in the case of the Francis Crick Institute, which will be provided to NHS employees in the Region. But So Far , this industry is not yet exhausted, He Said .

as well as labs, health Secretary to Matt Hancock said the government would now call on UK-based "big Pharma" GlaxoSmithKline and AstraZeneca, the reagents to perform the Tests .

the UK has problems, get hold of the appropriate reagents, which are in high global demand.

This is a global problem, But some countries were in a better position than others.

Could have increased the United Kingdom Tests in The Past ?

The decision to centralise the UK testing effort, to move a small number of Public Health labs, and this position started only in The Last couple of weeks.

a part of being able to scale-up means "to be willing to kick a little control about where, how and by whom the Tests , in order to increase the capacity and reduce throughput times," says Prof Eleanor Riley , an immunologist at the University of Edinburgh.

The Two Countries as the greatest test of success stories, Germany and South Korea , has many other labs from a previous Phase, Three Times as many in Germany and two thirds in South Korea , when adjusted for the Size of the population.

In South Korea , walk-in testing centers were quickly

While some components were In Short supply worldwide, South Korea was faster than the UK in the development of a test, and was able to stockpile Material.

the benefits of the home-grown diagnostic and manufacturing company, which it gave to raw materials, access and new technologies.

Some of the differences in a testing capacity, the supervision of the government, planning a date prior to the pandemic, according to Prof John Newton Public Health England, who will pass the examination on the structural differences of the countries.

the Massive Virology laboratories were in South Korea in The Wake of the 2003 Sars outbreak, He Said , while he was in Germany, already a major global testing base.

As the government promises?

were promised On the first, of 10,000 Tests by The End of March, rising to 25,000 by The End of April .

Now, the government has quadrupled its promise to 100,000.

It has not quite his first oath to fulfil, to the breaking of the 10,000 mark Two Days late on 2. April .

On Monday, 30. March, as his deadline approached, Public Health England tweeted that it had reached the capacity of 10,000 Tests , although this number has not yet been carried out.

And The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) began to talk about The Number of Tests , in contrast to The Number of people Tested - it will be higher, since Some People need More Than a swab, to check your results.

Previously, it had only the published data refer to the (lower) number of people Tested .

A DHSC spokesman said the 100,000-promise referred to the Tests , not the people.
