In the government's daily press briefing on Wednesday, the UK's chief medical officer warned of a 'global bottleneck' in coronavirus testing.
Professor Chris Whitty said the UK doesn't have sufficient testing, which is a global problem because "basically every country is wanting this new test, for a disease that wasn't actually being tested for anywhere three months ago".
He added: "So everybody wants this, so there is a global shortage and that's a bottleneck for us."
