For every one with the symptoms to be tested for Coronavirus
'You can't fight a virus if you don't know where it is.
'Find, isolate, test and treat every case to break the chains of Covid transmission. Every case we find and treat limits the expansion of the disease.
But the UK Government is not following the advice of the WHO health chief, instead limiting testing to patients in hospital with serious breathing problems.
NHS England had announced an increase in testing capabilities which would allow them to carry out 10,000 tests a day.
But after the UK moved from the 'containment' phase to 'delay', the Government accepted millions would be infected and testing was no longer a priority.
