UK ramps up coronavirus testing of health workers
Officials say testing for COVID-19 is key to fighting it, not least to check whether frontline medics could return to work.
The number of coronavirus deaths in Britain rose to 2,352 people, figures for Tuesday showed, a 31% increase in a day with one of the victims a 13-year-old boy with no apparent underlying health conditions. She said the latest figures showing an acceleration in the number of coronavirus cases - up 17% on Wednesday to 29,474 -were “slightly concerning”.
“A critical constraint on the ability to rapidly increase testing capacity is the availability of the chemical reagents which are necessary in the testing,” he said, saying the government was working with companies worldwide to obtain what was required. An opposition Labour lawmaker said the problem was that ministers appeared not to have ordered enough of the chemicals from companies that had offered to make what the government needed.
