According to figures released Monday, 16,888 people who fall into the category of"key workers and their households," and who have shown symptoms or live with symptomatic people, have been tested. So far, 5,733 -- or 34 percent -- were confirmed to have the virus.Health workers who are not symptomatic and do not live with people who are do not meet the UK's criteria for testing, so the number is not necessarily representative of all workers.
On April 12, however, only 14,506 tests were conducted according to his Health Department, suggesting the government is significantly behind that goal.On the issue of equipment, meanwhile, Hancock said Sunday that the government was"working night and day to make sure that we get the right PPE.
