  13. UK close to its 100,000 daily testing targetpublished at 17:21 British Summer Time 30 April 2020

    Reality Check

    Prime Minister Boris Johnson says there were 81,611 tests for coronavirus yesterday, an increase of almost 30,000 on the day before.

    This takes the government 80% of the way to meeting its goal of doing 100,000 daily coronavirus tests by today, the last day of April.

    Up until recently, the government was carrying out about 20,000 tests a day, so this means it has quadrupled testing numbers.

    We explain more here about the process of going to get a test.

  17. What is the 100,000 testing target?published at 17:43 British Summer Time 24 April 2020

    Reality Check

    The Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said “it looks like” the government’s coronavirus testing target of 100,000 by the end of the April “will be met in terms of capacity”.

    But when the target was first announced by Health Secretary Matt Hancock on 2 April, he said it was for 100,000 physical tests a day, not just the capacity to carry them out.

    Since then, some cabinet ministers have switched their emphasis to testing capacity - the amount of tests that could be done theoretically on any one day - with the latest daily testing capacity given as 51,000.

    The latest actual number of daily tests was 28,532 - a long way off Mr Hancock’s 100,000 target.

    The government has pointed to a “lack of demand” from NHS and other key workers for tests - but bodies representing them have blamed difficulties accessing the tests.

  18. How close is the UK to meeting the five tests?published at 17:33 British Summer Time 24 April 2020

    Reality Check

    The transport secretary referenced the five tests the UK must meet before lockdown restrictions can be eased. They include making sure the NHS can cope, and ensuring there is enough testing and personal protective equipment available to meet future demand.

    So, how close is the country to meeting those tests? Our explainer sets out how far we’ve come:
