A Mobile Testing Unit (MTU) for key workers and members of their household will be available at Burnley Football Club this week. The MTU will be available for three days this week at Turf Moor, Harry Potts Way, Burnley BB10 4BX.
The site will be open at the following times, for people with booked appointments only:
- Friday 1 May
10am to 3:30pm - Saturday 2 May
10am to 3:30pm - Sunday 3 May
10am to 3:30pm
The mobile site is not open to the general public, but has been established for essential workers who are self-isolating because they or a household member has Covid-19 symptoms. A negative test will help enable staff to return to work much quicker, whilst a positive test will mean that the individual and their employer can take steps to reduce the chances of further spread of the virus.
These essential workers can be put forward for testing by their employer if they have those arrangements in place, but can now also book it themselves by using the self-referral service.
