The doors have opened for a mass coronavirus testing centre which can give results in under an hour for the first time. A pilot scheme of mass coronavirus testing in Liverpool has got underway today, with six new centres having opened at midday.
The facilities will provide lateral flow tests, with a turnaround time of under an hour, for people who live and work in the city that do not have symptoms.
If successful, the approach is expected to be rolled out to towns and cities nationwide. The main set up is in the Exhibition Centre Liverpool and at council-run sports centres. Do you have a story to share?
