Government’s service voids results after problem with testing chemicals discovered
More than 1,300 people were wrongly told they had coronavirus due to a lab error with the government’s Test and Trace service.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said 1,311 people who took a test from 19-23 November across the UK were incorrectly told they received a positive result. It said there was an issue with a batch of testing chemicals which meant their results were void.
