A new Covid-19 testing centre will opens its doors in Arnold next month.
The new new community (asymptomatic) Covid-19 Mobile Testing Unit (MTU) will begin offering testing on Tuesday April 6, at the Home Brewery Building car park, providing free tests for anyone without Covid-19 symptoms and sending the results by text within 30 minutes.
The MTU will be open from 10am – 5.30pm every Tuesday and Friday, and is available for anyone who cannot work from home to use.
No booking is required, simply turn up on the day, complete the short application and receive a test.
Carlton Forum Leisure Centre had previously been used as a community testing site, however that site has now closed.
More information on community testing in Gedling can be found at www.gedling.gov.uk/community-testing.
Anyone wishing to receive a test before the new MTU at Home Brewery opens can visit the another community testing site as listed on the Nottingham City Council Website http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/cor…/get-a-covid-19-test/ and the Nottinhamshire County Council website http://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/…/asymptomatic…
Anyone with any Covid-19 symptoms – a high temperature, a new, continuous cough, or a loss or change to sense of smell or taste – should NOT go to a community test centre. Instead please book a test at nhs.uk/coronavirus or by calling 119.
