New Covid walk-through testing centre opened near Leeds city centre

The new testing clinic is in the Mandela Community Centre, in Chapeltown Road, Chapeltown.

It opened on Thursday, November 5.

It is only available for people with coronavirus symptoms – a high temperature, a new continuous cough, or a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste.

People are also required to book before attending.

The new site easily accessible without a car.

Anyone attending an appointment at a walk-through test site will be provided with guidance on getting to and from the test site safely, with additional support for vulnerable groups and people with disabilities.

Those being tested will be required to follow public health measures, including social distancing, not travelling by taxi or public transport, practising good personal hygiene and wearing a face covering throughout, including while travelling to and from the testing centre.

Health Minister Lord Bethell said: “To respond to the coronavirus, we have built a major testing and tracing system from scratch.

"We are constantly working to expand and improve it with new technologies and innovations so everyone with symptoms can get a test.
