Coronavirus: UK sent 50,000 Covid-19 samples to US for testing - BBC News

The government has admitted sending about 50,000 coronavirus tests to the US last week for processing after "operational issues" in UK labs.

The Department of Health said sending swabs abroad are among the contingencies to deal with "teething problems".

The samples were airlifted to the US in chartered flights from Stansted Airport, the Sunday Telegraph said.

You should be banned for not knowing how to spell "Eton".

Anyway the problem is not HMG or Boris but PHE. They won't allow uncredited labs to do the testing, meaning a lot of private UK-based ones can't help, so samples have to go to someone's medical labs.
