May I join the Secretary of State, and the shadow Secretary of State in commending and paying tribute to all those who work in our national health service, upon whom we rely day to day, but rely all the more so under these conditions?

Can I say to the Secretary of State, if may I press him on two points that have been raised by others?  But the WHO advice was very clear: test, test, test.

At an early stage the UK changed its testing requirements, and those who have symptons and self-isolate are no longer tested. If the full information is to be available, surely the testing has to be very significantly increased.  Who exactly is going to be tested? 

And one of the difficulties, I think, has been the way the information has been presented. And so that we seem just to pick up the point that the spokesman from the SNP made about the over-70s that was echoed elsewhere, the headlines are that over-70s, even now, are going to have to stay at home for 12 weeks. 

Can the Secretary of State be absolutely precise as to what the advice is for over-70s and those with other conditions, and what those conditions are? 

And then finally, the question of 7 or 14 days' self-isolation, my understanding was that if you had symptons and were on your own,  you should self-isolate for 7 days, but if you were in a family, the whold family should self-isolate for 14 days.

Perhaps he could confirm.

Thank you, Mr Speaker.

My right hon. Friend is rightly engrossed day to day in dealing with the development of covid-19, but I would like to ask him to cast his mind a little further forward. 

The chief scientific adviser and the chief medical officer have been clear that the best solution for this is a vaccine, but the chief scientific adviser has said that that could be as much as a year away. 

He has also suggested that until that vaccine is available, it may be difficult to ease restrictions successfully. Does my right hon, Friend agree with that analysis, and if so, what does a sensible exit strategy look like?
