Those who live or work in the area, are over the age of 11, and don’t have coronavirus symptoms, are eligible and there is no need to book.

When going for a test, people are asked not to bring bags or other items with them that they don't consider to be essential and should wear a face covering.

People are also asked to bring a fully charged smart phone if they have one to register for their test result, however staff will be available to assist those those who do not have a smart phone.
