Earlier this week, public health bosses at Bolton Council confirmed that cases of both the South African and Indian variants of coronavirus have been discovered in the borough.
In response, two mobile testing units (MTU) will be opened for asymptomatic people - at the Memory Lane Wedding Venue in Gilnow Lane and at Makkah Mosque in Grecian Crescent.
Home PCR tests can also be collected from the Shree Swaminarayan Mandir temple, in Deane Road, to be returned to the same venue.
