It's an interesting comment ref capacity and wonder how much mhc have in total? Sourcebiosciences like mhc are partnered with Boots (from gov covid test website) for the post arrival tests. sbi also supply a few others (medicspot, better2know and the nhs) but they seem to be planning for 20k a day. Taken from their update last week:
The Group is planning for a significant uplift in demand in the third quarter driven by the anticipated increase in COVID-19 testing as travel restrictions continue to be lifted. The Group has already seen a marked uptick during July with daily testing volumes rising from under 4,000 tests per day in June to approximately 9,000 tests daily at present, well within the Group's existing capacity. Testing demand is expected to rise further and, accordingly, the Group has made preparations to expand its capacity to more than 20,000 tests per day. Should demand exceed these levels, the Group has further arrangements to leverage surplus capacity within a third party owned laboratory

It looks like travel testing quantities are taking everyone by surprise. Hopefully mhc and ygen can keep up!
