Rapid testing is available even for people who do not have symptoms of Covid-19.

The aim is to identify the one in three people who may be infectious without being aware, in order to reduce spread of the virus.

Rapid testing enables swift action to be taken to protect colleagues and family members of those who test positive with Covid-19 and to reduce any onward risk of transmission.

The new site will be open Tuesday to Saturday from 9.30am to midday and 1pm to 6.30pm, providing a wide variety of testing slots. Each test involves a swab of the mouth and nose and provides a result within 30 minutes.

Marie Davis, who lives in Kilsby, said: "I really hope my video helps to raise awareness.

"I am going to Daventry Tuesday and Friday evenings for my test as I am self-employed and want to make sure I am keeping safe."
