How many coronavirus tests are being carried out in the UK?
On testing, Health Secretary Matt Hancock says the capacity is ahead of the government's plans to reach 100,000 tests a day by the end of the month.
But Mr Hancock stands by the goal, and says the government will be introducing contact testing"at a large scale" via a new NHS app, which will be coming soon and should"bring the number of new cases down. But he says"everyone can play their part", thanking the public for their"steadfast commitment" to following the rules, adding:"It is making a difference".
