Coronavirus COVID-19 testing
The Wuhan novel coronavirus, otherwise known as COVID -19, has now become a world-wide pandemic with more than 100,000 cases and thousands of deaths. The UK government are only testing suspected cases in hospital and are no longer testing people in the community.
With people being asked to self-isolate for suspected coronavirus for a whole 14 days, this can be hugely disruptive for many people, particularly the self-employed and those caring for the young and sick ones.
