Where Tameside adults with Covid-19 symptoms can get a PCR test

The Darnton Road car park testing site in Ashton.

Adults in Tameside who experience symptoms of Covid-19 are being encouraged to get a PCR test at several sites across the borough. 

There is a mobile unit at Curzon Ashton's Tameside Stadium on Wednesday (28 July), Thursday (29 July) and Friday (30 July) from 10am to 3pm each day. 

There are also sites still in place at the Darnton Road car park in Ashton and Beeley Street car park in Hyde. 

People must book an appointment in advance by visiting www.gov.uk/coronavirus or by phoning 119. 

Done by taking a swab of the throat and nose, the PCR test is the most reliable test for Covid-19. 

Results are usually returned within one to two days and help to keep track of cases, including new variants of Covid-19.
