New Covid testing site opens in York
It's at the University of York Sport Centre
Another coronavirus testing site for people who haven't got symptoms has opened in York.
The site, at the University of York Sport Centre - joins the existing site at York St John University.
Anyone who works in the city who can't work from home - and those who support vulnerable people - can book the free tests.
Councillor Keith Aspden, Leader of City of York Council: “We are really grateful to the thousands of residents who have booked a test and are continuing to get tested regularly. It does make a difference and will help to stop the spread of the Coronavirus.
“Throughout this pandemic we have been working incredibly closely with our partners. Our thanks go to the University of York, who along with York St John University, are offering their testing site to residents. This is yet another example of how the city can come together to fight Coronavirus.”
Sharon Stoltz, Director for Public Health at City of York Council said: “This new site means we can offer more symptom-free tests to York residents. The early identification of symptom-free cases and subsequent self-isolation will help to stop the spread of the virus.
“That so many residents are taking symptom-free tests regularly is testament to how we are looking out for each other as a city. If you are eligible please book regular tests to help the city fight Coronavirus and keep the people you love safe.”
