Covid-19 testing in Glossopdale this week

People working and living in Glossopdale are continuing to be urged to get tested regularly for Covid-19 to help stop the spread of the virus. 

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

It's at the Redgra area on Fauvel Road in Glossop from 9am to 5pm on Thursday 28 and Friday 29 October, and from 9am to 3pm on Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 October.

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.
