Mobile coronavirus testing stations will again be visiting towns in Suffolk and Essex in the country’s first full week of the second lockdown.
The G4S run testing stations, organised by the Suffolk Resilience Forum, are visiting 10 towns across Suffolk, while further stations are also visiting two major towns in north Essex.
The stations run alongside the permanent regional testing site at Copdock, which remains open seven days a week between 8am and 7pm.
All tests must be booked via the government’s online coronavirus portal, or by calling the dedicated 119 number.

Test results are said to take no longer than 72 hours to arrive, although most receive their results by the following day after taking a test.
Should test results return negative, the person who has been tested no longer has to self-isolate – so long as they, or anyone else in their household or support bubble do not remain unwell.
