Health minister praises 'responsible' public for home testing
The health minister says home testing is picking up Coronavirus cases which would have previously gone undetected.
Lateral flow kits are now available to anyone who wants one, after previously being limited to close contacts of confirmed cases.
A delivery of more than 100,000 tests arrived on the Island yesterday after pharmacies ran out last week.
David Ashford has praised the public for being responsible:
