The blame game for the coronavirus testing fiasco is in full swing today amid mounting fury at the failure to ramp up screening. March 28: Cabinet ministers Matt Hancock and Michael Gove hail news that the UK is now carrying out 10,000 tests a day. The Prime Minister's spokesman said today that in all, 10,412 coronavirus tests were carried out across the UK in NHS and Public Health England laboratories on Tuesday. 'There is some capacity that is available within that in order to start testing NHS staff and that's being done. 'Testing is a crucial aspect of our coronavirus battleplan, and we are working day and night to increase our national testing capacity,' he said.
