The whole world should listen to @DrMikeRyan 25 + years of outbreak experience - do not be paralysed by fear, or aiming for perfection - take action now against #COVID19

[Gabriele Pollara @gpollara]

The UK has now performed >10,000 tests for #SARSCoV2!

Can see clear increase in testing when case definition widened to increase Italy & Iran. Now >1200 tests / day 😯

Herculean effort by @PHE_uk labs from a standing start. #COVID19
