Peterborough COVID testing site open seven days a week

The site in the car park next to Gladstone Park Community Centre on Gladstone Street is open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week. Although there are a small number of slots each day which can be filled by people just turning up, people are advised to book online at www.nhs.uk/ask-for-a-coronavirus-test or by calling 119 to ensure they can get a test.

Dr Liz Robin, director of public health for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, said “If you have one or more Coronavirus symptoms - a fever, new continuous cough or a loss or change in sense of taste or smell - do not delay, get tested and self-isolate immediately.

“The walk-in testing service at Gladstone Park Community Centre is there to make it as easy as possible for people to get a test should they need to.

“And please remember, if you have symptoms then you and the people you live with must self-isolate – you for 10 days and the people you live with for 14 days. There is a range of support available from financial assistance to other help with everyday tasks. For information on the ways the council can help, visit www.peterborough.gov.uk.”
