Britain Adopts Operation Moonshot For Mass Testing

Britain Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced Operation Moonshot for mass testing across UK and plans to conduct 10 million tests daily by 2021. Johnson discussed tests would collect saliva and provide results in 15 minutes but scientists are sceptic about these tests. Pilot testing of these tests is going to be conducted in Saltford beginning next week. 

The decision for mass testing has arisen after UK has started reporting a surge in cases. The country reported 2,659 new cases on Wednesday.
