Tiny Andorra has ordered enough antibody tests to screen the whole population nearly twice over, it has emerged. The Pyrenees micro-state with a population of 77,000 has placed an order for 150,000 of the coronavirus tests from South Korea, local media says. In the UK, health secretary Matt Hancock says 3.5million antibody tests are on the way but the government has come under pressure over its testing policy.
