The temporary Covid-19 mobile testing unit at Paulton Rovers Football Club will now be available until September 10.

Bath & North East Somerset Council's Public Health team has arranged the extension to continue to give people better access to local testing.

Councillor Rob Appleyard, cabinet member for Adult Services and Public Health, said: "Early signs are that the recent cluster we saw in the Midsomer Norton and Radstock areas is coming under control but it is essential we don't let the virus get a foothold in our community. It's really important for residents to get tested if they are symptomatic and having easy access to a testing unit is vital, so I'm delighted we've been able to secure the extension."

The MTU is part of the COVID-19 National Testing Programme and anyone who thinks they may have coronavirus symptoms can book a test by visiting HERE : the Government testing site People without internet access can dial 119.

The mobile testing unit (MTU) will operate daily for residents who have made an appointment in advance until Thursday September 3, except on its two rest days of Saturday 5 and Wednesday 9 September.
