Means they are testing more? Who can say.

While nobody accepts it's an accurate figure (thanks to the decision not to test) there's still value in the data. Who has it and where will drive healthcare decision making in the coming weeks. It's better to know than to be oblivious to where the trouble spots will come.
Obviously, genuine success comes when in a like for like period with a similar number of tests and similar testing policy the number of new infections decreases. Something we will hopefully see in the next 14 to 21 days.
