From the BBC
The UK is hoping to bring in mass testing to help ease restrictions, the health secretary has said.

“This is a really, really important drive that we have across government," Matt Hancock told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

He said testing people regularly could allow measures such as quarantining for arrivals from high-risk countries to be lifted.

Hancock added that new technologies, such as faster tests, where results can come back in minutes, were being looked at, and the government was planning to ramp up testing for the remainder of the year..

Now why didn't somebody think of that before!! Better late than never if it materialises.
