To be honest, I'm not sure but testing is freely available now. I would be surprised if this wasn't the case. At least, according to the dashboard there is capacity for 349,159 tests per day, with around 186,500 being done daily at the moment (a huge disparity still).
Got quite excited reading that. Matt Hancock should take note, based on his comments from the other day about another national lockdown if things don't go quite so well.
Think Sunak already knows it, however he needs to get a pair and speak up but probably protecting his position rather than doing what's right for the country.
Well it’s a slow drip of the patently obvious hopefully.
It is funny how during the main part of the lockdown, cases were skipped over and all the focus was on deaths.
In addition, the daily figures are just by day reported, not by day test taken. There are delays at the moment getting results back. If you look at the figures by day sample taken, the rate has been utterly flat for 3 weeks.
I don't like Hancock at all but in fairness this is what was reported:

And of course she won’t have the excuse of having to furlough ‘cos little Karenetta ain’t at school, innit?’ to fall back on...
Ah but isn't this a fourfold increase from yesterday?!!! Surprised the media are being so restrained, not often they'll get that big an increase!!!
It's unbelievable. When is this rubbish going to stop? Why no daily update of deaths on the road, from cancer and from suicide?
Can't believe they didn't lock down, some people died of colds!

A dozen children under five among nearly 850 Covid-19 patients in 142 days at Northampton General Hospital
Front-line NHS staff helped more than 500 beat deadly coronavirus during peak of pandemic
A report from my local "rag" today. Hidden away in the report is the line that the hospital is treating ONE, just ONE patient for Covid at this time, and this on the back of a spike in cases which was reported nationally, as was the decision to move Northampton to an "area of intervention" by the Government......
I would have thought the fact that following the much publicised spike only one person was being treated would be more newsworthy that the fact that 12 toddlers have been in hospital over the last five months.....and presumably all of them recovered as I don't remember a report if a youngster dying of the virus in this area.
They don't mention that the death figure is bogus as it in no way identifies that a person died of Covid ( it needed an external organisation to tell PHE that this was the case for those over 28 days. Why would anyone trust any organisation who comes up with such absurdities)
I was under the impression that the government had stopped doing this. I was obviously wrong.
