Covid-19 Local Testing Site open in Loughborough

A walk-through Covid-19 testing site is now open in Loughborough.

The semi-permanent site, known as a Local Testing Site (LTS), is set up on Limehurst Avenue and is likely to remain for several months.

Local Testing Sites are designed to supplement existing testing routes such as regional and mobile testing units. They are part of a national network being created by government. Charnwood Borough Council has assisted by providing this site.

The site offers walk-through appointments only. Appointments can be booked at nhs.uk/coronavirus or by calling 119.

Please only book a test if you have one of the symptoms of Covid-19, such as a high temperature, a new continuous cough or loss of smell or taste. Users attending the site will be asked to self-swab.

There’s more information on testing on the Government website.
