At yesterday's daily Downing Street briefing, Matt Hancock unveiled a new pledge to reach 100,000 coronavirus tests a day by the end of the month, However concerns have arisen over the
disparity about the accuracy of antibody tests, the ones which tell if a person has had the illness and therefore if they may be immune. When confronted about this on BBC Breakfast, the
Health Secretary admitted that he was "frustrated" that the antibody tests the Government have proved failures. He told the BBC: "It is frustrating that the first ones we have
tested have not worked, but we've got more coming. "We've got a massive team buying these. A lot of them are produced in China so we're getting them sent over from
China. "There's some that are produced domestically and I really hope we can find one that works. "For the domestic production, we'll work with the companies to try to
help them to improve their test." READ MORE: DEVASTATED SON OF DOCTOR WHO DIED OF CORONAVIRUS REVEALS FINAL DAYS AT THIS DIFFICULT TIME FOR FRONTLINE DOCTORS AND NURSES, SIGN UP HERE TO

have had the virus is really important to get right. "But essentially a really good home test has not been invented yet." The Health Secretary has also faced criticism for the lack
of provision of personal protective equipment for frontline workers. Mr Hancock added: "Of course, the logistical exercise has been another huge challenge. "We're not there
yet but we're throwing everything at this one as well." At the time of writing, 33,718 people in the UK have tested positive for coronavirus. 163,194 people in total have been
tested. Of those confirmed cases that were hospitalised, nearly 3000 have died.
