Coronavirus: Two thirds of Brits think the government has handled COVID-19 testing badly

UK, Apr 02, 2020: As the government continues to face criticism over coronavirus testing, most Brits feel the issue has been handled badly.

According to a YouGov poll, two thirds of the 2,625 surveyed said the UK has handled coronavirus testing either fairly badly (37%) or very badly (29%) badly, Yahoo reported.

 

This compares with a quarter of Brits who say the government has handled the issue either fairly well (22%) or very well (3%).

The survey comes as pressure mounts on the government to get a grip on testing whether someone has or has had coronavirus.

Temporary testing facilities – including one at Ikea in London – have been set up but many NHS staff say they were turned away for not having appointments.
