British Prime Minister Defends COVID-19 Testing

VOA News

   British Prime Minister Boris Johnson defended his government's COVID-19
   testing plan Wednesday as opposition members in parliament claimed the
   government lost control of the virus when it lost control of testing.

   The exchange took place during the weekly "question time" in
   parliament, one day after Johnson announced new COVID-19 restrictions
   following a resurgence of new cases across Britain.

   Opposition Labor leader Keir Starmer called out Johnson for saying test
   and trace had "very little or nothing" to do with the transmission of
   the disease after deeming it a "game changer" a few months ago.
