Covid-19 tests available in Glossopdale

Monday, 6 September 2021 08:26

The Covid-19 testing facility on Fauvel Road in Glossop.

People working and living in Glossopdale are continuing to be urged to get tested regularly for Covid-19.

Mobile testing sites are again available this week across Glossopdale for people to get a PCR test - that is sent to a laboratory for analysis. 

On Monday 6, Tuesday 7 and Wednesday 8 September, it's based at the car park at the Geoffrey Allen Centre on Winster Mews in Gamesley from 9am to 5pm. 

On Thursday 9 and Friday 10 September, it's at the Redgra area on Fauvel Road in Glossop from 9am to 5pm. 

Then on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 September, it's at Glossopdale School on Newshaw Lane in Hadfield from 9am to 3pm.

People should book a slot online before attending any of the sites at https://www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test. 

Everyone is welcome, with residents being encouraged to continue to get tested twice a week whether they have symptoms or not. 

Done by taking a swab of the throat and nose, the PCR test is the most reliable test for Covid-19. Children under 11 should be helped by an adult.

Results are usually returned within one to two days and help to keep track of cases, including new variants of Covid-19.
