use hospitals should spare to test the laboratory, to self-isolate NHS Staff in England for coronavirus, the health Secretary Matt Hancock said.

The government's growing criticism over a lack of Tests for frontline Staff , who were able to return to work, if found delete The Virus .

On Tuesday, the Cabinet Office minister.

It was a

Ismail Mohamed Abdulwahab, from Brixton in South London , is believed to be the youngest reported victim of the disease in the UK.

His Family said they were "devastated" by his death, Said Ismail had no identifiable underlying health conditions, and positive Covid-19 tested on Friday, A Day after he was admitted to the hospital.

It was also confirmed that a "healthy" 19-year-old with the coronavirus.

The latest daily deaths in the UK increased significantly to 381, wherein the total number of deaths to 1,789, from 17:00 BST on Monday.

Mr Gove described The Rise as "deeply shocking", and added that "now is Absolutely Not imagine The Time for the people, there is any relaxation or easing" of the lockdown can measures.

Test So Far focused on patients, although Nhs England has said that hospitals by up to 15% of their audit skills to the Staff , if this is possible.

Mr Hancock has now forced hospitals to Go Further and to test, how many employees, how you can, with health officials say laboratories The Ability to have more tests.

The government has already criticized on several occasions that you have said, in the last few weeks, the testing was a priority, but then not implement them for frontline NHS workers.

the Ministers have announced that the work with the Private Sector and universities to scale-up Tests.

But Mr Gove said at The Press conference that The Ability to increase the testing capacity was held back to test the availability of the required chemicals to the patient.

There is a lot of confusion about the issue of testing and a lot of numbers flying through the area. This reflects the uncertainty at the highest levels of Whitehall, what is really going on.

It is an important issue for the health sector: Doctors and nurses, isolate yourself, you need to be tested, so that, if you are not infected with The Virus , you can quickly return to work, at a time when Staff urgently needed on The Frontline .

The government goal is 25,000 people tested, every day is a goal that has now been moved back until The End of April. An earlier set a goal of 10,000 should have been beat by now. The Daily test is still at around 8,000.

Then there's the laboratory capacity to enable, according to officials, 12,500 tests will be analyzed each day and 15,000 by The End of This Week .

So, why is not used this ability?

This remains a bit of a mystery. If it can be resolved then many more NHS Staff tested could be. A global shortage of a chemical, the debt was supplied by Michael Gove .

But the full answer is probably more complex.

Test kits are hard to find in some areas. It is probably inefficiency in the organisation of test processes and analysis in the laboratory.

When the pandemic is over, many questions will be asked, whether the UK will have to have enough kit and supplies early enough.

Right now, Ministers and officials have how to fix an immediate problem.

Chris Hopson, The Chief executive of NHS providers, said that if the existing NHS pathology had unlimited swabs and reagents, it has The Ability to process approximately 100,000 tests per day would be enough of a test machine.

But Mr Hopson said a "reagent and swabs deficiency is currently a limitation [in order] to 13,000 of the day".

The government wants to be able to process 15,000 tests for NHS Staff in The Coming days, according to communities Secretary Robert Jenrick .

The Chemical Industries Association, the demand was acknowledged to be an "escalation", but said reagents are used to determine whether a reaction occurs - were manufactured and supplied to the NHS.

And shadow International Trade minister, Bill Esterson told The Bbc : "I asked the chemical industry [on Tuesday] and they said to me, their member companies are not aware of any deficiencies. "

Mr Gove, the Prime Minister , Boris Johnson and Mr Hancock said - who insulation work yourself-after testing positive for Covid-19 - with companies worldwide to be the materials that are needed.

More NHS said on the occasion of the government day coronavirus briefing, Mr Gove: "employees return to The Front , and to help more and more Tests, instead of those who isolate themselves, come back, and to protect those who work so hard in our hospitals and in social institutions.

"But while the rate of testing increases, we need to Go Further , faster. "

A fifth of the ill affected nurses, The Royal College of Nursing, said that while The British Medical Association, said, started, the employees tested, over the weekend, but only in low numbers.

BMA Chairman Dr. dream woman Nagpaul said: "It's been a good Two Weeks since the government said it would Roll Out priority Tests for the nursing Staff .

"But many doctors still have no idea where or how you tested. "

Conservative former health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said it was "very worrying" that the government introduced the mass testing.

He Said it was The Key to finally control the outbreak in Wuhan, the Chinese city, where the disease appeared for the first time. "It is internationally proven as The Most effective way of breaking The Chain of transmission," Mr Hunt said.
