It is part of the national testing programme and you can get tested by making an appointment here.

Mobile units are only in a location for a few days and the specific location will be given to those who make an online booking.

Anyone can now get tested if they have coronavirus symptoms, including a new, continuous cough, and a high temperature, loss or change in sense of smell.

Essential workers have priority but anyone can book a test.

Anyone who tests positive for Covid-19 will be helped by the NHS test and trace service to identify the people they have recently been in contact with.

Anyone who has had contact will be told to self-isolate for 14 days to help contain the spread of the infection.
