"We and our NHS colleagues delivered on our promise of 10,000 tests per day, On Time and at the rate of 750 000 tests per month [25,000 per day] until The End of April," He Said .

"We have the NHS supports laboratories to your COVID-run 19 Tests, to ensure That the tests you use, deliver accurate Results . "

All four Nations are, obviously, also try to increase the test, as much as possible in Public Health facilities as part of the UK-wide effort.

The Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said That at least 3,500 of the day "by The End of this month, at the latest".
