A temporary Covid-19 testing facility will be located at Crowborough Rugby Club, Steel Cross, Green Lane, Crowborough as part of the drive to increase access to coronavirus testing for local communities.

The mobile unit will be on site 17th - 19th November. Visitors to the facility must have pre-booked an appointment.

Anyone booking a test will be given advice on how to get to and from the site safely and will be required to follow public health measures, including social distancing, not travelling by taxi or public transport, practicing good personal hygiene and wearing a face covering throughout, including travelling to and from the site.

These precautions, and the fact that access to all test sites is carefully controlled, mean we can reassure the community that there is no exposure to greater risk from nearby testing centres. Samples collected at the sites are sent to laboratories for analysis and results.

Testing is only available for those either with coronavirus symptoms – a high temperature, a new, continuous cough, or a loss or change to sense or taste – or those who have been asked to get tested by a doctor, public health professional or by their local council. Anyone with one or more of these symptoms should book a test straight away at nhs.uk/coronavirus or by calling 119.
