Confidence the country now has the capability to kick testing for Covid-19, into high gear
2 April 2020
The Government's announced everyone with symptoms will qualify for a test - and a broader surveillance plan for the virus could involve spot testing.
The aim is to carry out five thousand tests a day.
Royal College of GPs Medical Director Bryan Betty says the problem has been that laboratories haven't had enough staff, machines or swab kits to carry out the testing.
He says now that's been freed up - hopefully things can start to move forward.
