IF you are showing symptoms of Covid-19, you can now be tested for the virus through the Government’s free Test and Trace operation at a temporary testing facility that is now open in Okehampton.

The site, at Mill Road car park (EX20 1AT) is open between 9am and 3pm, but you must register via the Government’s online portal before you arrive. This speeds up the process and will reduce any queuing time.

Full details about booking your test can be found by looking at the NHS website at: www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test .
