Government Tweaks Covid Test Counting to Hit 100,000 Daily Target
The Government has switched up how it counts Covid-19 tests, all to boost its daily numbers and hit that crucial 100,000 mark.
New Counting Method Sparks Controversy
Critics say the change inflates test figures, making the achievement look easier than it really is. Supporters argue it reflects the actual testing effort better.
What’s Changed?
- Some tests are now counted differently or multiple times.
- Previously excluded tests have been added into the daily totals.
The move comes as ministers face mounting pressure to prove they’re controlling the pandemic with widespread testing.
