Coronavirus: Wales' health minister says testing advice has changed

Wales' Health Minister Vaughan Gething has said changes to how coronavirus testing is implemented mirrors changes to scientific advice.

It follows a decision to offer testing to all care home residents and staff.

The Welsh Government has also ditched a Wales-only portal for key workers to book tests.

Instead, Wales will now join a UK-wide system.

But Mr Gething told the BBC's Politics Wales show data issues with the UK-wide system had been resolved so there was no need to continue "developing that Wales-only route".
