UK to ramp up household coronavirus testing

UK to ramp up household coronavirus testing Coronavirus tests are to be carried out on more people to get a better idea of how many are infected at any one time.

The Office for National Statistics' Infection Survey will test 150,000 people a fortnight in England by October, up from 28,000 now.

The survey is separate from the mass testing programme of people with symptoms, as it aims to take a random sample of the general population. BBC News
