The UK will be trialling and distributing new rapid COVID-19 tests, with regular testing for priority groups such as NHS and care home staff.

Areas which enter the ‘Very High Alert’ level will be immediately prioritised for these tests.

@cllrSPandor can you help local residents with their concerns please?
