New UK 바카라 사이트 Covid testing site opens in Dundee
The UK 바카라 사이트 has today opened a new walk-through coronavirus testing centre in Dundee in the city centre
The UK 바카라 사이트 has today [Friday 16 October], opened a new walk-through coronavirus testing centre in Dundee. Located in the Park Place car park in the city centre, the site is easily accessible for people without a car.
The new facility is being provided by the UK 바카라 사이트 as part of a UK-wide drive to continue to improve the accessibility of coronavirus testing for local communities. It is operated by Mitie on behalf of the UK 바카라 사이트.
The Dundee site is the first self-cleaning facility in Scotland. This involves decontaminating each testing cubicle with dry mist between each use - helping to speed up the cleaning process and increase the testing capacity.
The test centre is part of the largest network of diagnostic testing facilities created in British history. In Scotland, this comprises of six drive-through sites, eight walk-through sites, 21 mobile units, plus the Glasgow Lighthouse Lab which is working round the clock to process samples.
In Scotland, the UK 바카라 사이트 is providing all COVID testing and test processing outside of the NHS. Around two-thirds of all daily tests are provided by the UK 바카라 사이트, in support of Scotland바카라 사이트™s health services.
Tests must be booked in advance at or by calling 0800 028 2816. People should only book a test if they have coronavirus symptoms: a high temperature, a new and continuous cough, or a loss or change to their sense of smell or taste.
Health Minister Lord Bethell said:
We continue to expand UK 바카라 사이트 testing to make sure that everyone with symptoms can get a test, with our new walk-in sites making it even easier no matter where you live.
This new site forms part of our UK testing network, which has the capacity to test more than a million people a week and is growing all the time.
If you have symptoms of coronavirus, I urge you to book a test today, and follow the advice of contact tracers if you are contacted to protect others around you and stop the spread of the virus.
This is a UK-wide effort and we are proud to be working with a number of partners to turn this ambition into a reality and roll out additional capacity to where it is needed.
Baroness Dido Harding, Interim Executive Chair of the National Institute for Health Protection, said:
The UK 바카라 사이트바카라 사이트™s new walk-through sites offer communities better access to coronavirus testing, so everyone with symptoms can get a test. This new site is part of our ongoing work to expand testing across the UK to deliver 500,000 tests a day by the end of October.
Please book a test if you have coronavirus symptoms: a new continuous cough, a high temperature and a loss or change in sense of smell or taste.
Everybody should continue to think: 바카라 사이트˜hands, face, space바카라 사이트™, and follow the advice of contact tracers if you are contacted 바카라 사이트“ this is the only way we can return to a more normal way of life.
UK 바카라 사이트 Minister for Scotland, Iain Stewart, said:
The UK 바카라 사이트 is helping all parts of the UK fight the coronavirus pandemic
Testing is vital, helping to manage local outbreaks and protecting people바카라 사이트™s livelihoods. The UK 바카라 사이트 is providing the bulk of Covid testing in Scotland, and this new walk-through centre is just the latest in our extensive testing network.
