People are still getting their test results despite issues with the reporting of coronavirus cases PEOPLE in Wales who have been tested for coronavirus in recent days are receiving their results, Public Health Wales is stressing. Essential and planned maintenance on data systems for the NHS in Wales last week led to what Public Health Wales yesterday called significant under-reporting of Lighthouse Laboratory testing . Lighthouse Labs are part of the network of labs that process coronavirus test results. Around 11,000 coronavirus cases not yet included in official figures as a result, are set to be added later. But the issue has not affected the delivery of results to those who have taken tests.
