A Covid-19 testing centre opened in Denbigh on Wednesday.
The centre is based in the car park at the council offices at Caledfryn and will
operate between 9.30am and 3.30pm with no appointments necessary, but the walk
in/drive-through session is open to those with symptoms that need a test.
The testing
centre is being operated in partnership between Public Health Wales, Betsi
Cadwaladr University Health Board, Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust and
Denbighshire County Council.
It replaces
the testing site at Market Street Car Park, Llangollen, which closed on January
3.
Cllr Mark
Young, Cabinet Lead Member for Planning, Public Protection and Safer
Communities, said: “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.
“The centres
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 Denbigh and would encourage anyone displaying symptoms to come and take
advantage of the services offered at the testing centre.”
Residents who have tested positive or have been given self-isolation advice are asked to stay at home until the end of the self-isolation period.
