A coronavirus test centre worker says he and his colleagues sit around thinking of ways to 鈥減ass the time鈥�, because they鈥檙e not allowed accept people for tests.

Steve (not his real name), told 麻豆社 Radio 5 Live they鈥檝e had to refuse people for tests, because the labs they pass the tests on to cannot keep up with the capacity.

Speaking to 5 Live鈥檚 Rachel Burden, Steve said, 鈥淲e鈥檙e just sat in a cabin full of [testing] kit鈥�.

Justice secretary Robert Buckland said plans to put the NHS top of the list for coronavirus tests would be published in the coming days, with people in care homes also a priority, while schools could be considered. He said resolving delays with testing was "the number one issue".
