Rapid community testing site opening in Weston
Following the successful recent launch of rapid testing for the community in North Somerset a new site in Weston is set to open next week. North Somerset Council's second testing centre, which can be accessed by anyone who lives or works in North Somerset, will start running tests from Tuesday 26 January at Hutton Moor Leisure Centre, Weston-super-Mare. Council leaders are encouraging critical workers and volunteers who cannot work from home during lockdown to get weekly tests, which give results in under an hour. Rapid community testing aims to find people who are infectious with Covid-19 but do not have symptoms. This allows them to isolate, taking the virus out of the community and stopping the spread. As a negative test is only as good as the moment it is taken, it cannot be used as a reason to avoid following Covid safety guidelines. It is vital those who test negative continue to wash their hands, wear a face covering if they can, keep at least 2m away from anyone not in their household or so
