The health service previously announced it is scaling up its testing capacity to allow for 10,000 daily tests, a target it has now met. The jump meant daily increase of 8,000 overall at the
beginning of the crisis, and a reduction in the time it took results to return. Officials expected the results to return within 24 hours, allowing people to plan their next treatment steps.
The government has stressed testing is only part of the overall solution, as people need to ensure they are preventing virus circulation themselves.
