The number of people in England going for PCR Covid tests is the highest it's been in two months, Test and Trace figures show, APA reports citing BBC.

One million PCR tests were taken in the week to 26 May. This is the highest total since the week to 24 March - and is up 3% on the previous week.

PCR tests are swabs taken at a testing centre rather than at home. They are processed in a laboratory, and are used mainly for anyone who has Covid-19 symptoms and to confirm a positive rapid test result.
