Coronavirus: Scotland and Wales introduce Portugal quarantine - BBC News
UK nations diverge as Scotland, Wales introduce quarantine for Portugal travellers; England does not.
We've been hearing about the long journeys people have been asked to take to access a coronavirus test in the UK.

After BBC revelations that some people have been required to drive long distances, there has been renewed debate about whether there is sufficient capacity.

There has apparently been an increase of more than 60% in demand for tests since June and it appears that laboratories have struggled to keep up in some parts of the country.

There has been an apology to those who were told to go a hundred miles or more for a test.

Officials acknowledge that resources are stretched and have to be targeted at areas with local outbreaks.

But they point out that a new mega lab is set to come on stream in the East Midlands soon.

They argue that trials of new rapid testing techniques will be expanded, which could prove to be game-changers.

For now though, the system is stretched, even though the official numbers suggest capacity is running ahead of demand.

Questions will continue to be asked about whether the system can cope with the challenges ahead as schools return and winter approaches.
