"Please, please come forward and get tested over the course of the weekend."

He said it was pleasing to see so many people coming forward and getting tested.

"Even if you have mild symptoms, please come forward and get tested, then stay at home to wait for your results. It's a really important contribution that you can make to protect your family, every family and indeed to get us to the other side of this quicker."
