Matt Hancock defends Covid-19 testing infrastructure

Health Secretary Matt Hancock has defended the government's Covid-19 testing infrastructure, claiming the shortfall was down to a surge in demand from people who were misusing the system. Mr Hancock clarified people should only book a coronavirus test if symptomatic or advised by a health professional in order to protect the "record capacity" for the "people who really need it".
