COVID-19 mobile testing unit opens in Hay on Wye

A mobile COVID-19 testing centre has opened in the town on the Herefordshire border.

The unit opened today at Recreation Facilities Car Park on Brecon Road in Hay on-Wye.

Mobile testing is by appointment only for anyone with symptoms and provides a drive-through service, with those being tested remaining in their car for the duration of their visit. Anyone arriving for a test who is not in a motor vehicle or does not have an appointment will be turned away.

The continued rotation of the units is part of a rolling programme of mobile testing to ensure residents have access to COVID-19 testing as close to home as possible.

Residents who are have symptoms but are unable to attend a mobile testing unit can request a Home Testing Kit, delivered to your home.

Appointments in Hay-on-Wye or elsewhere, can be booked through the UK Government national booking portal, either online at www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test, by phone on 119, or 18001 119 for people with hearing or speech difficulties.
