Coronavirus testing station now open at The Wharf - but you will need an appointment

A mobile Coronavirus testing station is now open at The Wharf car park, off Woolsack Way.

It will operate today (September 15th), tomorrow and Tuesday, September 22nd and Wednesday, September 23rd.

Testing is available to all those with COVID-19 symptoms, but testing slots must be booked online by 5pm the day before.

Residents should book on the national testing portal: here.

Key workers should book on the government portal: here.

You will be turned away if you arrive without an appointment.

Children under the age of five can be tested, but there will need to be two adults in the car – one driver plus one adult in the back to administer the test, as people are not allowed to leave their vehicle once on site.

If only one parent is present, they should park away from the test centre and enter on foot, where they will be taken to a different area for testing.

People without transport can walk into the testing centre, but still need to book an appointment.
