He said: "In recent days we have seen a colossal spike in the number of people who want to ascertain whether hey have got coronavirus.
"We are meeting that record demand, we have got four new labs we are building in Newport, Newcastle, Chamwood, Brants Bridge, and we want to get up to 500,000 tests by day by October and that is a huge number.
"We are testing more than any other European country."
However, residents in Bracknell have expressed how 'impossible' to book a test online.
Some even said they were told to travel to Cardiff, Swindon and Leicester after being given the test slot online.
