UAE including non-WHO-approved rapid serological testing in their testing numbers (as are Spain), so they don't make the list.

Fantastic job

Would love to see a journalist splash this over the front page tomorrow:

GP's, Ambulance crews, swabbers, receptionists, cleaners, couriers getting samples around etc.
Massive undertaking and all-in effort to test so many people. Most of the above have worked so hard. Bit of praise wouldn't go amiss.
