The statistics for National Health Service Test and Trace in England and coronavirus testing in the United Kingdom are publicly available each week at the following link:

Daily reports are sent to regional convenors and local authorities which cover the booking capacity of all local, regional and mobile test units. Additionally, from 12 October, we will include the utilisation of each test site. Local authorities and strategic partners also receive up to date messaging from the Department to promote testing locally, encouraging those with symptoms to book a test.
