1/12 Getting tested for #COVID_19 is to be made easier for residents and students in the north of the city with the opening of a new local test centre at Plymouth Marjon University. https://t.co/i1PKFtTPVl

3/12 It will make it easier for anyone living in the area to get tested; especially those who do not have a car and so cannot access the Seaton Barracks site or for whom walking to the city centre is difficult.

4/12 Those being tested will be told to wash their hands before leaving home, wear a face covering on their journey to and from the centre, not to stop anywhere on the way, and not use public transport or taxis.

5/12 The centre in the Marjon Sport & Health Centre’s lower car park is separated from the rest of the campus and will be clearly signposted.

9/12 A number of tests at the new site are due to made available from Thursday 22 October and the site is due to be fully operational between 8am and 8pm each day from Saturday 24 October.

10/12 Anyone testing positive for the virus will be contacted by NHS Test and Trace to identify their contacts, so that they can be advised to self-isolate.

11/12 These close contacts will also hear from NHS Test and Trace, asking them to stay at home for 14 days to prevent them from unknowingly spreading the virus. They will be advised to also book a test if they develop symptoms.
