Rapid lateral flow coronavirus tests are in Inverness this week at B&M Car Park at Telford Retail Park and Tesco Car Park at Inshes Retail Park

Rapid Covid-19 community testing will be available in Inverness for the rest of this week.

Highland Council and NHS Highland are delivering the testing facilities in the Highlands to help people become confident in using the Lateral Flow Device (LFD) test kits and not due to any particular outbreak.

The mobile testing unit Moves Like Jagger will be available for drop-in LFD testing for anyone without symptoms at B&M Car Park at Telford Retail Park between 9am and 4pm today to Thursday and from 9am to 3pm on Friday.

And Testalot will be available for drop-in LFD testing for anyone without symptoms at Tesco Car Park at Inshes Retail Park between 9am and 4pm from today to Thursday and 9am to 3pm on Friday.

The test uses the LFD and is easy to administer. The process of registration and testing takes approximately 10 minutes and results are usually sent by text or email to those attending within an hour – although this may occasionally take up to 24 hours.
