New COVID testing site opens in Peterborough

The new site is located near Gladstone Park and will be open for at least the next three months.

The new site will be open seven days a week from 8am to 8pm.

However it will have reduced opening hours on its first two days whilst set up is taking place as follows: Wednesday 14th - 2pm to 5pm, Thursday 15th - 10am to 5pm.

People who have symptoms are advised to book a test by visiting: www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test or by calling 119.

Peterborough MP Paul Bristow said: “The temporary mobile sites in our City proved popular so I made it a priority to get something permanent for Peterborough. We have done the right thing and our rates are low. More tests may increase rates a bit but we will only get on top of this with the right response and making sure local people who need a test can get one is part of this.”
