A quickfire Covid test centre for keyworkers could open up in Harborough in the next few days.

Mike Sandys, the Director of Public Health for Leicestershire, said he hopes the facility will be up and running in the district by the start of next week if not the end of this week.

Critical workers will be given lateral flow tests – and will get their results back in just 30 minutes.

Rapid testing is only for those who are eligible and aren’t already isolating and will be available for key workers and anyone else who cannot work from home.

Similar centres have already opened across Leicestershire.

They are being hailed for helping to identify coronavirus cases and combat the infection spreading.
