The government has said it has reached its target of having the capacity for 500,000 daily Covid tests by the end of October, even though fewer than 300,000 a day are being carried out.
Testing capacity increased to 519,770 a day on 2 November, and 270,473 tests were actually carried out, according to official figures.
