Can someone explain the testing to me...

If over 110,000 people have been tested but only 15,000 tested positive - were they all tested because they had symptoms? And if so, does that mean there is another, similar virus going around that the 95,000 people are infected with as it's not COVID-19?

And if they weren't tested because they had symptoms - why were they tested? I thought only people at hospital with symptoms were being tested now, the BBC says that 8,911 more people were tested from yesterday and 2,921 positive cases were recorded. So a lot of people are being tested that are negative but exhibiting symptoms?

Or am I misunderstanding?
