Hi Liz et al
I am lead to believe that there is a Rapid Testing Centre for those WITHOUT symptoms in North Shields.It is people who can’t work from home and come into contact with the public.Results in an hour.
Surely there must be more in the region?
Liz, you seem to indicate that your friends had symptoms and I think that there are lots of places doing tests in those circumstances.
Here in South Derbyshire all of us, WITHOUT symptoms, are able to be tested and the results come back in 40 minutes. My Daughter and my Son and D-i-L take the test every week.
Jean and I have been tested twice this year.
