A new Local Test Site for people with coronavirus symptoms has opened at Courtside car park, next to Courtside Surgery, in Yate, BS37 4DQ, this week.

This new site replaces a Mobile Testing Unit previously sited at Culvert Avenue, Yate, which will close on Sunday (21 February). The new site in Courtside car park will be a walk-through test facility for people with symptoms of coronavirus (a new, continuous cough, a high temperature, or a loss or change to your sense of test or smell). Appointments have to be pre-booked using the online system at gov.uk or by calling 119. Government guidance says that people with symptoms of coronavirus should book a test and only leave their home to have the test.
