Coronavirus: Why we don't know how many tested

Nov 14,2023 8:11 pm

The government has not published The Number of people tested for coronavirus since 22. May.

It was also criticized, since they do not detail who was swabbed - Staff , patients, or patient to isolate At Home .

The UK Statistics Authority Chairman, said the published official figures are far "far from complete, and understandable".

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said that the publication of figures about The Number of people tested, "temporarily stopped, a consistent reporting".

the trial was one of the most important measure of the performance of the government in dealing with the outbreak.

Make sure, could supply, the demand was one of The Five criteria the Prime Minister said, had to be met before the easing of the closure.

And the government is aware of the Tests will be strategically crucial as the lockdown restrictions make it easier.

But the program has expanded, it has been interpreted increasingly difficult, and the examination of the official data.

"people" is a useful separate display, since The Number of tests performed, do not say how many people have access to a test. On may 22, when the data for men was last published, 140,497 tests were carried out on 80,297 people.

Tests against people

The Gap that can be tested between the testing and The People , is explained by a variety of things.

Some People didn't need a second smear because your first was good enough to give a conclusive result. People were sent with "void" or unclear results, a new test.

Up to 19 may, 8% of the tests carried out in the drive-through and pop-up testing sites were inconclusive. The figure for home-test-kits was not provided.

There are also good clinical reasons for striking Someone in order to check whether a Person who has previously tested positive, is now negative, or to verify a negative result in Someone who still has the symptoms.

population surveillance

On top of these people tested, the not tested as part of a surveillance study to estimate the degree of infection in the population were counted as a whole in the tests, but The People who pay.

The last round of the Office for National Statistics surveillance audits for the period 27. April-10 may be involved 10,705 participants.

Together, monitoring swab and antibody Tests are important, but not to be used to diagnose, of The People accounted for individually, carried out almost 30,000 of the nearly 130,000 of tests on 30. May.

All of these factors mean that it can be processed more tests as people a result.

The government has no information about how many individual people have More Than one test for all these factors, so we can't tell you how much each account is tested for the discrepancy between tests and people.

What I need to know about the coronavirus? Routine Tests

Another possible explanation for The Gap is that certain groups of people (such as health and care Staff and care home residents) are checked regularly.

to clarify The DHSC was in the situation, how people were tested on different occasions would be counted as a "tested person" or many.

A spokesman for the act refer to a "small percentage of cases, in which the same person has More Than one test", which can be limited to routine suggesting Tests.

An Imperial College London study, from the same modeling group that has given much to the government's response, said in April that NHS Staff should be weekly checked, Even if you do not have symptoms.

This need for routine-Tests were also of NHS providers, which represents The Body of the hospital trusts.

And Nadra Ahmed, Chairman of the " National Care Association, the independent providers represents like, said routine Tests in nursing homes had "just happened".

On April 28, health Minister Matt Hancock said, nursing home Staff and residents could not be tested regularly, Even if you have symptoms.

But Ms Ahmed described this as "smoke and mirrors".

She Said that she had heard of lots of providers throughout the country, who had requested tests for their employees and residents, and still waiting 14 days later.

to test Some of their employees and residents, while others are struggling to access the portal.

Home kits

The UK Statistics Authority criticised, particularly the inclusion of home kits posted, but Not Yet returned, in The Number of tests.

the Chairman, Sir David Norgrove, accused the government of, to show the use of the data", that the greatest possible number of tests, Even at the expense of understanding".

Although the DHSC reached its target of 100,000 tests per day at The End of April, it has not released how many were actually used and returned.

According to the setting of 100,000 tests per day target, the government moved the focus away from The Number of people tested.

In fact, when it came to the "people-tested" figures, home kits just showed up in the data after receiving back for processing in the laboratory. This can be for some of the in The Gap , but, again, we can't tell you how much.

This seemed to be, in itself, a source of Confusion - Even within The Department .

instructions on the website first tests At Home or in a pop-up Tests, said the centre, run by The Armed forces do not contribute to the "people-tested" figure. But this note was later used by the site.

A DHSC spokesman said that these tests were only counted as "people tested" to The Point of being in the laboratory, evaluated, and that The Note was removed "to avoid Confusion ".
