Appointments for in-person PCR tests were temporarily unavailable across the whole of England earlier.

However, Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab caused confusion on Tuesday when he told Sky News there were 250 Omicron cases in hospital, then immediately afterwards told the BBC there were nine cases. When contacted by the BBC, the UKHSA said neither answer was right, and the actual number was still 10.
