New sites to pick-up rapid Covid tests in Nuneaton and Bedworth

There are three new locations in the Borough.

Warwickshire County Council has worked in partnership with community organisations and NHS Test & Trace to set-up multiple new lateral flow test (LFT) collection sites across the County.

The purpose of the sites is to increase residents’ accessibility to LFT kits and encourage the important continuation of asymptomatic testing every 3-4 days.

LFT tests are for those without symptoms of COVID-19.

The new sites include:

• Salvation Army-Mill Court, 8 Leicester St, Bedworth CV12 8SY.
  • Test collection is available Sunday 1:30 to 3pm, Monday 9am to 1pm, Tuesday 9am to 2pm, Thursday 9am to 2pm, and Friday 9am to 2pm. 
• The Chess Centre, Nuneaton.
  • Test collection is available from Monday to Thursday 9am to 9pm, and on Fridays 9am to 5pm.
• New Town Centre-WCAVA, Nuneaton (Pictured).
  •  Test collection is available on Wednesdays and Fridays every week from 9am to 3.30pm.  

Dr Shade Agboola, Director of Public Health Warwickshire, said: 

“Continuing to take lateral flow tests twice a week is an important habit to maintain in order to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in our local communities.  

“The purpose of community testing is to pick up infections early when there are no obvious symptoms, so that residents know when they need to self-isolate to limit the spread of COVID-19. Whilst restrictions have eased since July, we are still living with COVID-19, and lateral flow testing will help us all to do the right thing to keep each other safe.”
