The third new covid-19 rapid testing centre of the week opens in Stowmarket this morning (12 February).

Using lateral flow testing, it'll check people who can't work from home and aren't showing symptoms of coronavirus to help identify people who need to self isolate.

It'll be based at the Museum of the East Anglian Life and follows sites that have already opened in Felixstowe and Ipswich in the past couple of days.

The testing sites are operated on behalf of Suffolk County Council seven days a week between 7am and 6pm. Tests should be booked in advance.
