Rapid covid testing starting soon in Loughborough

Essential workers will be able to book lateral flow tests in Loughborough from Friday 5th February.

The new site at Gorse Covert Community Centre will complement others across Leicestershire offering rapid coronavirus tests specifically for people not showing symptoms who can't work from home.

Already fast tests are being offering Swannington, Blaby, Wigston and in Hinckley from 8th February. 

The lateral flow tests are self-administered at an approved test site – and you can leave the site straight after you have taken your swab.

Results will be sent out by text or email by the end of that day. Sites will be open 6 days each week. Anyone who currently cannot work from home and is eligible, will be able to book a test here.

You can now book a COVID-19 lateral flow test at the Gorse Covert Centre in #Loughborough - opening this Friday.

📍If you're eligible for a lateral flow test, you can use any of
our test sites.
