Interesting. Latest @PublicHealthW data shows 1005 #COVID19 tests carried out in Wales on 10th April. My understanding is they have daily capacity to test more (as @WelshGovernment repeatedly said they’d have by now). Have asked for current testing capacity figure. https://twitter.com/adamprice/status/1249409012753457153
UPDATE: from @WelshGovernment - ‘Testing capacity currently at 1300 a day in Wales’
And yet, from most recent @PublicHealthW data (for 10th April), it appears only 1000 tests approx a day actually being carried out. Seeking clarification.
The new Drive-in #COVID19 testing centre by Cardiff City Stadium (which opened less than a week ago) appears to be shut today. Why? @WelshGovernment
Confirmed: New #COVID2019 key worker testing centre at Cardiff City Stadium closed today ‘for operational reasons’. @PublicHealthW says ‘full service will resume’ tomorrow.
Statement from @PublicHealthW on why the new Drive-in #covid19 testing centre in Cardiff has shut today - ‘due to the low number of key workers anticipated to be working on Bank Hol Monday’
NEW: latest @PublicHealthW figures show that there were just 770 #COVID2019 tests in Wales on Saturday. Yet Wales now has capacity to carry out 1300 tests per day.

PHW says: gap is ‘due to the number of tests received. At the moment we are testing everything that comes in’
On new drive-in #COVID2019 testing centre temporary closure in Cardiff (today only) & news that Wales has capacity to test far more than is currently happening (for more on both issues see this thread), @Adamprice statement:
