Each "pillar" (type or reason for test) is broken down further. Here's how many tests were run for the latest reporting date - the 150k.
Just an aside: The UK population is 66 million.
The percent positive rate for the UK from these totals is less than 1%.
Looking at the US percent positive yesterday, it was around 6%.
