The COVID-19 'Indian Variant' has been identified in areas of Nuneaton. There is now an ongoing effort to try to get as many residents and those who work or volunteer in the Abbey and Wembrook wards take a PCR COVID test as possible. Leaflets are currently being delivered in targeted streets.
However, anyone living in the Nuneaton and Bedworth borough area is also able to get a PCR test even if they do not show symptoms of COVID.
"Following identification of a small number of positive cases of the Indian variant of concern, we are asking all residents (age 2 and over) and people working in the area to get a PCR test in addition to continuing their twice weekly LFT tests."
"It is really important that anyone with COVID-19 symptoms isolates with their household and books a PCR/NHS coronavirus test through https://www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test or by calling 119."
"People can get a test by collecting from one of the community venues or booking a test on-line: https://www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test and clicking "my local authority has asked me to have a test".
