"This is nothing to do with the capacity," he says, "the capacity can be extended very quickly, and there are a lot of labs. "

"This is a simple test, and we just have to get on with it. We don't need this stranglehold by Public Health England [PHE]. "

If you are asked to comment on the slower pace of the Tests in England So Far , PHE pointed out That it is directly responsible for the accreditation of the laboratory.

"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 . "

the Tempo of The Tests in England, the increase in the last week, but a quick acceleration can only happen if private laboratories to join, run through the health authorities. it was

"we believe That We will begin testing until mid-April," AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot , The Bbc , the Today programme said, "and be on a large scale with 30,000 tests per day at the beginning of may. "

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".
