"The online application system for essential workers to book coronavirus tests temporarily closed following huge demand. The new government website will reopen tomorrow following a large number of applications.
Within hours of the new website going live this morning, those looking to book a coronavirus test online were met with the message to "check back later", after being told: "You can't currently register for a COVID-19 test."
Downing Street later revealed that 5,000 home-testing kits, the total available capacity for the day, had been ordered within two minutes of the online portal opening."
