THE USE of temporary coronavirus testing facilities in Caerphilly has been extended. 

The Aneurin Bevan University Health Board is extending the opening of its mobile COVID-19 testing units in Caerphilly. 

These units will move between differing locations in the borough over the next week.

The mobile test facilities will provide a walk up testing service to Caerphilly residents between 9am and 4pm - appointment only.

The test is done for five minutes and people getting tested should bring ID and proof of address.

People who visit the centres should also wear a face covering and avoid shops, public transport, or other places on there way to or from the test.

For people living outside Caerphilly there are other facilities available in Gwent - call 0300 30 31 222 between 8am and 6pm if you need to book a test.

Alternatively you can have a test posted to your home - apply online at gov.wales or phone 119.
