More coronavirus mobile testing sites are coming to Buckinghamshire over the coming week in a bid to stop the spread of the illness across the county.
This is where you can get tested this coming week:
- Princes Risborough - Saturday, September 26
- Aylesbury - Monday, September 28, Tuesday, September 29, and Wednesday, September 30
- High Wycombe - Friday, October 2, Saturday, October 3, Sunday, October 4
Residents are being urged not to try and book a test unless you have coronavirus symptoms or unless you have been specifically advised to get one by a medical professional.
You can arrange a test for someone else in your household if they have symptoms.
Symptoms include:
- A new continuous cough
- A loss or change to sense of smell or taste
- High temperature
Tests at mobile sites should always be booked first and are not available on a ‘drop-in’ basis.
Further details of the testing sites will be provided on booking.
To arrange a test, and for the latest guidance, go to www.gov.uk/coronavirus and click on the appropriate link for you within the ‘testing’ section of information.
It is also possible to order a home testing kit via the website.
If the mobile testing sites are fully booked, you will be offered testing at the next-closest location.
A testing centre operating in Slough is also currently open to Buckinghamshire residents, for booked-in visits only.
Gareth Williams, Cabinet Member for Public Health and Community Engagement at Buckinghamshire Council, said: “If you have coronavirus symptoms, please book a test as soon as you can and isolate unless you get a ‘negative’ result.
"It’s really important that everyone in Buckinghamshire remains vigilant and continues to follow the guidance.
"By working together, we can help stop the spread of the virus, and testing is a vital part of this.”
