There will not be a second emergency alert test today despite earlier reports saying another was due. People on the internet had spotted a message on the Government's website which said another test was due "today", but this has since been confirmed as false by the Cabinet Office.
It comes after the first test of the new system was carried out at 3pm on Sunday (April 23). However, it did not work on some phones while others received the message hours after it was sent.
As reported by Manchester Evening News, the alert was supposed to send a message notification to all 4G and 5G phones as well as a 10-second alarm. A screengrab taken by the MEN from the official government website, Gov.uk, showed a post saying that "a service test of the UK Emergency Alerts system" would take place today, Tuesday, April 25.
