The prime minister told MPs that there had been a “colossal increase” in demand, but that the government “works very quickly” to process verification requests.
He also said he was “concerned” about infection rates in nursing homes.
This occurs when ministers have said that a list of priorities for testing will be published within a few days.
In addition to prioritizing for the NHS and then social services, schools would also be considered, Justice Secretary Robert Buckland said.
Johnson said 89% of those who go through the face-to-face tests get them the next day.
He said Wednesday to the Prime Minister’s questions: “I think most people who take a look at this country’s check history across this country will see that it compares incredibly well with any other European country. “
The prime minister promised that all face-to-face verification effects would return within 24 hours until the end of June.
He expressed frustration at the call for evidence, but said capacity increased, and the government requested 500,000 tests per day until the end of October.
Johnson admitted that “we are involved in infection rates in nursing homes” and promised that a new action plan for the sector would be published this week.
Labour Deputy Director Angela Rayner replaced Sir Keir Starmer at the PMQ, while Sir Keir ingested himself because of a circle of family members with symptoms waiting for the effects of a test, which has since been dismissed as negative.
She told MPs that Mr. Johnson “put on roller skates” to solve the problems.
“These fitness staff are still getting the PPE they need, they’re still getting the tests they need,” he said.
Ms. Rayner also said the prime minister had “repeatedly” made promises of evidence, but then “broke the promises. “
“They’ve had six months to get it right, and yet the prime minister still can’t keep his promises,” he said.
“The health secretary said yesterday that it would take weeks for this situation. We don’t have weeks. “
Previously, Buckland told BBC Breakfast that the centres would increase from 400 to 500 in the coming weeks.
And Education Secretary Gavin Williamson said both schools could order more check kits at birth today, having won 10 at the beginning of the period.
A growing demand for coronavirus verification has led to local shortages, and many others reported disorders that ensure online bookings and are aimed at verifying sites many miles from home.
The giant Lighthouse Laboratories, run by the government to analyze swabs from all British countries, have been put into operation to treat them all.
Testing spaces are limited because, while there seem to be enough control sites, there are bottlenecks in the labs for hisopos remedy, said Hugh Pym, the BBC’s editor-in-chief.
A new lab will be operational, but it may only take a few weeks, and until then, ministers say the existing disruptions are highly likely to continue.
Bolton NHS Trust in Greater Manchester said more than a hundred more people had gone on Tuesday in the event of a turn of destination and an emergency to request proof.
Data on lab arrears are not publicly available, however, Health Secretary Matt Hancock told the House of Commons Tuesday that the capacity is “less than a day. “This means that there can be up to 244,000 people.
The Ministry of Health said that about a quarter of people seeking to get tested did not want to do so, and only those with the corresponding symptoms are recorded.
Some closed for a few days after reopening, while others told the annual categories and teams, many of which form a bubble, to self-insulate for two weeks after cases were shown.
Teachers’ unions have called for the school sector to be a precedent for testing to keep schools open.
The Association of School and University Leaders (ASCL) said that if verification capacity issues were not resolved, keeping schools open would be “unsustainable. “
Education Secretary Gavin Williamson told MPs Wednesday that he had the importance of prioritizing schools for Baroness Harding, head of the UK testing system.
Scott Vining’s daughter had a fever on Saturday and by Sunday, the rest of the family, who live near Dunstable, Bedfordshire, also developed symptoms.
“We have tried a lot of times,” he told the BBC about trying to make an e-book with a test. “We looked to test e-books for my daughter on Sunday, to no avail, and then at 8 am on Monday for all of us. “
At one point, Scott presented a check in Warwickshire, 65 miles from his home, through the government’s website, but during the time he entered the main points of his family circle of four, the spaces had disappeared.
About 220,000 tests are processed every day, according to Government figures on Monday.
The government said its daily laboratory testing capacity in the UK exceeded 370,000 last week, adding antibody tests and tests used by scientists to estimate the extent of the virus.
The capacity (excluding the spread of antibodies and viruses) is approximately 245,000 depending on the day.
Government knowledge shows that laboratory capacity and capacity have increased, particularly since the onset of the pandemic. The purpose is to increase the capacity to 500,000 according to the day until the end of October.
However, there is a significant gap between the number of tests labs can perform (“capacity”) and the number of tests performed.
Analysis through Our World In Data, a study team at the University of Oxford, suggests that the UK is now conducting more tests than many other countries.
For example, the average of seven days until 10 September showed that the UK had conducted 2,8 tests consisting of 1,000 people, later than European countries adding France (2. 1) and Spain and Germany (1. 8).
