"I told work four kids were all showing flu-like symptoms and they told me to get a test and stay off until I had my results which never actually came," he said.

"I decided to just book myself a test as I figured if I was OK they would be OK, and to be honest we did just suspect the common cold."

He said he had gone back to work after finding he was unable to book another test, which he had only intended to take as a precaution after his children became ill.

"I can't book another test anyway, so I've no choice but to carry on as normal," he added.

A Derby doctor has been advised to make a round-trip of more than 120 miles to Oldham for a Covid-19 test.

The medic, who works at Royal Derby Hospital and did not want to be named, was advised the drive-through test site in Royton was the "nearest" drive-through unit with an available slot.

Oldham has been in national headlines for weeks due to surging levels of Covid cases.

The doctor was told there were no walk-through test sites available and they were not provided with the option of a home-testing kit.

Their employer, the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust, said its in-house Covid testing capacity was focused on patient testing.

A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said the UK was aiming to increase test capacity to 500,000 a day by the end of October.

Yorkshire beat Leicestershire by 10 wickets but it is not enough to earn them a place in the Bob Willis Trophy final.

An assistant head teacher at a Leicestershire primary school has described the health secretary's criticism of a school that sent an entire year group for testing as "disgusting".

Matt Hancock cited the unnamed school as an example of "inappropriate" use of the testing system that was making it harder for people who needed tests to get one.

The teacher said her school had already had six members of staff forced to stay at home due to a lack of available testing, out of a total of about 45 - a loss which makes a "huge difference" to their teaching provision.

"The government had months to consider how the return of schools might affect testing capacity and yet nothing has been done about it," she said.

"Teachers and children, alongside NHS staff and carers, need to be given testing priority."
