Covid-19: No PCR tests available at testing sites in England
On Monday, the ordering of lateral flow test kits from the government website was also temporarily suspended - again due to high demand - while members of the public complained of waiting for hours in online queues for the chance to book a Covid vaccine appointment.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said all over-18s across the UK will be offered the chance to get a booster jab before the end of the month, while MPs are set to vote later on a raft of new restrictions for England, some of which are already in effect.
However, due to the widespread prevalence of Omicron internationally, England's travel red list, which restricts travel to certain countries, will cease to exist from Wednesday at 04:00 GMT, Mr Javid said. Modelling by the UKHSA estimates the current number of daily Omicron infections is around 200,000, and Dr Susan Hopkins, its chief medical adviser, has said the growth rate of Omicron seems to be "shortening rather than lengthening".
