Coronavirus testing: Government claims fact-checked

The problem is, we've no way of telling whether this is the case, as the government is not releasing its data on distances to Covid-19 test centres. Last week, Mr Hancock also said"90% of people travel less than 22 miles". Again, we haven't seen the data on this. It would mean, though, that 10% travelled further., meaning as many as 20,000 people in England travelled over 22 miles.
However, there has been a sizeable gap between how many tests labs are able to process and the number of tests actually processed. Data on backlogs in labs is not publicly available, but on Tuesday Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the backlog was"less than a day's capacity". This means it could be anywhere up to 244,000.
