hereThere were 2,988 lab-confirmed cases of coronavirus as of 9am on Sunday (September 6) - a sharp spike from Saturday's figure of 1,813.It’s the highest number recorded since May 22.During his appearance on LBC radio, Mr Hancock said the 'holy grail' of testing would be a 'pregnancy-style test' where a person could take a saliva swab in the morning to know they were not infectious that day.“If we get to that position that would transform how we act as a society, short of a vaccine,” he said.When asked about people getting back into theatres to go to pantomimes, Mr Hancock told LBC: “That is the hope that we hold out for the nation, that we can get things going even if there isn’t a vaccine, that we can use mass testing so people can check.
