Meanwhile, the spread of the virus among general NHS patients is roughly one in five – about 23 per cent, the data also showed.
Testing for frontline workers – which has been reserved for those showing symptoms, or those who have lived with someone displaying them – was only made available on March 25.
At that stage, there were 10,000 confirmed cases among the general population, while Public Health England had already been swabbing people travelling back from high-risk countries for two months.
