A new rapid coronavirus testing centre will open from today in the former H&M unit in St Anns Shopping Centre.
The centre will be used exclusively to test people without Covid symptoms, and will offer a result in around 30 minutes. It’s thought 1 in 3 people with coronavirus don’t display symptoms, but can still pass it on so rapid testing helps find these people and break the chain of infection.
The test centre can be used by anyone working in the town centre. If you’re still trading under the new Tier 4 restrictions, we recommend all members of your staff get a FREE test twice a week. You’ll be asked to take a swab of your throat and nose. Help will be on hand if you need it.
