The community testing initiative aims to drive down local Covid-19 rates and transmission by identifying positive cases more quickly.Residents who don’t have any of the three COVID-19 symptoms – a new continuous cough, high temperature, loss or change in sense of taste or smell – are encouraged to get tested.
Lynne McNiven, director of public health for NHS Ayrshire & Arran, said: “Testing will help us to identify more cases of the virus and give us all a better chance of stopping it from spreading. “It is important that you are tested regularly – this means twice a week.“This is really important if you are a key worker and must attend work.The Ayrshire Live app is available to download.
