We're doing 10,000 tests per day, and the target is 100,000 per day by the end of April. Other countries do far more tests, e.g. Germany. Trump had a test ages ago when it became known he'd been in the vicinity of a sufferer. But Gove locks himself away for 14 days when he is a central player? I don't get it.

As SARS-CoV-2, the virus which causes COVID-19, is a new virus, tests have been developed from a standing start and fast-tracked for use through worldwide regulatory bodies such as the US’ FDA and the EU’s CE marking system.
Strong partnership working between industry and Government, is ensuring that at this most critical time, the NHS can accurately test every member of its staff and patients.
