Millions of tests able to detect the CCP virus within 90 minutes will be rolled out to British hospitals, care homes, and laboratories to increase testing capacity in the coming months, the country’s health minister said on Monday.

The tests will help health-care workers to “quickly advise on the best course of action to stop the spread of the virus,” the Department of Health and Social Care announced.
