The Times reports that one million coronavirus tests a day will be carried out by Christmas, citing predictions from scientists. Schoolchildren will be offered weekly Covid-19 screening as early as next week, the paper adds, with results being given in as little as 15 minutes. The government has spent more than £500 million in the past two weeks on new testing machines that will triple the present capacity of 300,000 tests a day, the paper says.
