The biggest nightmares for people in 2020 is getting a medically 'positive' result on the coronavirus test. For a strange thing, more than 1,000 people in the UK realised they got the wrong results. In spite of being healthy, 1,300 people in the UK were inaccurately informed about having tested positive for the novel coronavirus. It came to light when a British laboratory experienced an error in the government's NHS Test and Trace system, the Department of Health and Social Care reported. 

The 1300 cases were tested between November 19 and 23, "NHS Test and Trace has contacted 1,311 individuals who were incorrectly told that the result of COVID-19 tests, taken between Nov. 19 and Nov. 23, were positive. An issue with a batch of testing chemicals meant their test results were void," a statement read.  "Swift action was taken to notify those affected and they have been asked to take another test, and to continue to self-isolate if they have symptoms". The affected people were asked to come back for another test in few days. 

Detailed investigation into the matter was started by the authorities, to find out how did the medical experts generate false reports, and is there anyone else affected by this error. The UK health facilities have faced an error in testing programmes in September, nearly 16,000 records of positive cases disappeared from a system causing massive delays in contact tracing.
