Yesterday, the British government pledged to do everything in its power to strengthen the capabilities of the laboratories, after citizens were unable to get the opportunity to conduct a "Covid-19" examination across the country, amid mounting anger over a crisis in the dilapidated British examination system.

In an effort to slow down one of the highest death rates from the emerging coronavirus in the West, Prime Minister Boris Johnson pledged in May to establish a system that is "the best in the world" to screen and track people at risk of contracting the virus.

But repeated attempts by Reuters reporters to undergo a test for "Covid-19" failed, as hundreds of people gathered in rows at a testing center in Southend-on-Sea, in the south of England, since five in the morning.

"The capabilities of the laboratories are an issue we are working on," Justice Minister Robert Buckland told Sky News.

"We will do whatever it takes to ensure that we have these capabilities," he told BBC television.

We know where the pressure points are and are deploying pilot centers for rapid testing. ”

Health Minister Matt Hancock said yesterday that it will take weeks to reform the system, while Buckland indicated that medical personnel and workers in elderly care centers, students and their parents should have priority in examinations.

Parliamentary Health Committee member Jeremy Hunt said screening capacity should be greatly strengthened.

Repairing the system will take weeks.
