Two new facilities will be built in Bristol in the west and Harrogate in the north to house up to 1,500 patients, the state-run National Health Service said in a statement. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said Britain will “massively increase testing” for the Covid-19 virus following criticism of his initial light-touch approach to the outbreak.
Heir to the throne Prince Charles yesterday made his first public comments since coming out of self-quarantine after contracting the disease, telling the PA news agency the experience had been “strange, frustrating and often distressing”. Hancock blamed global demand for swabs and reagents for the lack of tests, and said that some they had bought were faulty.
Testing for the general public has also been criticised as not widespread enough and is currently largely limited to hospital admissions of the most serious COVID-19 patients. So far, Public Health England , the body tasked with testing, has insisted all screening should be carried out centrally.PHE medical director Professor Paul Cosford defended his organisation’s work.
