All Residents, over the age of 18, who are living or working in Frankley Great Park ward and part of south Northfield between Frankley and the A38, since 1 January 2021, should take a PCR COVID-19 test this week through one of the designated sites in the area, even if they are not showing symptoms. You can find details below for locations.
For people with no coronavirus symptoms in the affected area you can access a testing:
– Drive through testing is available at the St.Modwen testing site without an appointment from Thursday
– A further Mobile Test Unit will be opened on Friday.
– The Council is also opening a series of designated sites for citizens to collect home testing kit to test at home and return to the same venue the same day for return to the lab.
– We are working with local businesses to make testing available for their staff in workplaces and employers are being written to with details of this this week.
– It is important people test through these designated sites because the samples are sent back to a specific laboratory for analysis and individuals should get their results within 48 hours.
