A new drive-through Coronavirus testing facility has opened for people to book appointments at Gatwick Airport.
Testing at the site in Car Park X, Perimeter Road is available for those with symptoms – by booking a test at nhs.uk/coronavirus or by calling 119.
Testing at the new site starts from today (February 4), with appointments made available each day.
Trish Mannes, Regional Lead for UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) South East, said:
“This new drive-through site is part of our ongoing work to make it even easier for people who need a PCR test to get one. “If you have developed a new continuous cough, a high temperature or a loss or change in sense of smell or taste, or you are asked or advised to get a test, please book one and follow any advice you’re given.
“As we return to a more familiar way of life, testing, and isolating when necessary, remain a vital way of controlling the spread of the virus and protecting one another.”
Those being tested will be required to follow public health measures, including social distancing, not travelling by taxi or public transport, practicing good personal hygiene and wearing a face covering throughout, including while travelling to and from the testing centre.
