as posted by the channel

Essential workers and their households will be able to book coronavirus tests online from tomorrow, the health secretary says.

Speaking at the daily Downing Street briefing, Matt Hancock said the criteria for who can be tested for coronavirus would be expanded to include any essential workers and their families who need a test.

Previously, some key workers with symptoms - such as NHS workers, social care staff, and emergency services - and their families had been allowed to be tested.
