Good news for Chard today as the Department of Health & Social Care have announced the opening of a new Local Test Site at the Chard Guildhall. Knowing that people previously have had to travel some way for tests, I have been calling for the Government to open a centre such as this, and I am really pleased to see action taken on this issue.
The roll-out of the Test and Trace service is key in getting us back to the things we love, and getting business back on their feet and people in jobs, and the opening of more centres like this is certainly a step in the right direction.
Anyone experiencing a high temperature, a new, continuous cough, or a loss or change to sense of smell or taste – should book a test here, by calling 119, or using the NHS Covid-19 app.
