Additional Covid-19 testing site in Bettws
Posted on Thursday 18th February 2021
Another local testing site (LTS) is opening in Newport on Friday 19 February as part of the government's drive to improve access to Covid-19 tests.
Newport City Council put forward the site in the car park of Bettws Social Club, Lambourne Way, to make access to tests easier for people living in that area.
From Sunday 21 February, it will operate from 8am to 8pm. The testing site serves the local community so those attending can walk to it and do not have to drive to get a test.
If you have any symptoms of Coronavirus (Covid-19) - a new continuous cough, high temperature or loss of taste and/or smell please book a test as soon as possible.
To book, call 119 or visit www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test
If you have symptoms, you and any household members should isolate immediately. Your whole household should continue to isolate until the test result is received. If the test is positive, all household members and close contacts should continue to isolate for 10 days as per current guidance.
Even if you receive a negative result, Wales is now at alert level 4 with stay-at-home
restrictions in place.
Newport City Council has worked closely with Aneurin Bevan Health Board, NHS Wales and Welsh Government to identify local testing sites in the city.
