Local testing centre reminder from county council

Denbighshire County Council is reminding residents in Llangollen and surrounding areas that a Covid-19 testing centre opened in the town last Saturday.

The centre based at County Hall, Ruthin, has now closed and has moved to the Market Street car park in Llangollen and is open between 9.30am and 3.30pm.

No appointments are necessary but the walk in/drive through session is open to those with symptoms that need a test.

The centres have been operated in partnership between Public Health Wales, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, Welsh Ambulance Service NHS Trust and Denbighshire County Council.

Councillor Mark Young, Cabinet Lead Member for Planning, Public Protection and Safer Communities, said: “These testing centres are extremely important facilities in the fight against coronavirus in the county.  They are so convenient and will provide some peace of mind to residents that they can access treatment if necessary.

“The centres at Rhyl and Ruthin have worked extremely well, with many residents taking the opportunity to come and have a test.  We look forward to working with our partners on the new centre in Llangollen and would encourage anyone displaying symptoms to come and take advantage of the services offered at the testing centre.”

Residents who are displaying symptoms and have been given self-isolation advice are asked to stay at home until the end of the self-isolation period.
