Mobile coronavirus testing facility set-up in Wolverhampton's Bantock Park
A new mobile coronavirus testing unit has hit the road in Wolverhampton.
Anyone without symptoms of the virus can get tested at the unit which will be located in the car park of Bantock Park until Sunday, March 7.
The unit will then move to another location in the city next week.
Following a pilot on Monday, rapid testing will be available at Bantock Park from 9am to 1pm and 2pm to 6pm each day until Sunday. Testing is free and people don't need to book in advance.
John Denley, Wolverhampton's director of public health, said: "We have worked hard to make testing as accessible as possible. We have already set up public rapid test centres at six locations around Wolverhampton and supported local businesses to introduce rapid testing on site.
"The deployment of this mobile test unit, which is at Bantock Park for the next few days and will move to another part of the city next week, will mean that more people can get tested closer to home.
"Regular testing is a key component of the Government's roadmap out of lockdown and I would urge anyone without symptoms of Covid-19 to come along to the mobile test centre at Bantock Park, or indeed to any of our other test sites, and get a free test."
