The official explanation is that all the slots are booked, so site re-opens when more slots are entered into the system.

Also only those people who have symptoms (or live with people who have) are supposed to be booking up a test, they don't want people who are apparently well to be taking a test.

Finally, there is no "proof" of key worker being asked for so it seems anyone can book a slot.
