Revised opening times at rapid test centres over Easter

Wednesday, 31 March 2021 12:28

Revised opening times will be in operation at the city's rapid Covid-19 test centres over the Easter weekend.

Anyone without symptoms of coronavirus is invited to get a rapid test without an appointment and will get their results in around an hour.

Opening times over the Easter weekend are as follows:

The Civic Centre, St Peter's Square, Good Friday 10am-4pm, Easter Saturday 10am-6pm, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday site closed
The Jamia Masjid Bilal, Newhampton Road West, 10am-7pm each day
Pendeford Library, Good Friday 10am-4pm, Easter Saturday 10am-6pm, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday site closed.
The Hub at Ashmore Park, Good Friday 10am-4pm, Easter Saturday 10am-6pm, Easter Sunday site closed, Easter Monday Monday 10am-4pm
St Joseph’s Church, Willenhall Road, site closed each day.

Meanwhile, the rapid test site at Bilston Community Centre closes for the final time tomorrow (Thursday 1 April).

Please note, rapid testing is not available to people who have been told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace, or to anyone with symptoms of Covid-19, including a fever, a new continuous cough or a change to the sense of taste or smell.

People with symptoms should immediately self-isolate and book a PCR test by visiting www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test or calling 119.

Latest figures show there were 63.7 new cases of Covid-19 per 100,000 people in Wolverhampton over the seven days to 28 March. That means 168 people in the city tested positive for the virus in that seven day period – though the true number of new cases will likely be higher.
