Volume of queries sees Covid-19 testing referral system crash shotrly after go-live
A new online GP referral system for Covid-19 testing crashed shortly after going live today.
It was so overwhelmed by the demand for tests from GPs all over the country that it went down just 30 minutes after it went online at 9am. It stopped working properly and GPs were instead asked to use emails to send in their requests or tests.
