The new weekly list of rapid testing locations in and around Watford for people with no coronavirus symptoms has been published.

Hertfordshire County Council began its roll-out of the rapid testing programme on January 20, with pop-up sites appearing daily across the county.

The lateral flow tests available at the testing sites are primarily for key and essential workers, capable of telling them within an hour of their test whether they have Covid or not.

With 1 in 3 people with Covid showing no symptoms, the tests are a quick and useful way of finding people who are infectious who don’t realise they are.

Anyone wanting a rapid test must book via the council’s website. Slots fill up quickly and should be prioritised by key workers.
