Scotland’s first community testing site for people without symptoms to get tested for Covid-19 has opened in Johnstone, Renfrewshire.
Up to 12,000 asymptomatic residents will be able to be tested at the drop-in test site, located at Johnstone Town Hall, over the next eight days.
Residents will be tested using lateral flow devices, which can give people their results in around 45 minutes. Any positive cases will then be confirmed by PCR test.
The Community Asymptomatic Test (CAT) site is the first of its kind in Scotland and forms part of a community testing pilot announced by Health Secretary Jeane Freeman last week to trial wider community testing in five local authority areas where transmission rates remain stubbornly high.
Six Mobile Testing Units and 20,000 Home Testing Kits are being deployed to test asymptomatic people who live in targeted communities across Glasgow, Renfrewshire, East and South Ayrshire and Clackmannanshire, and the results of these trials will inform wider expansion of targeted community testing planned for early January.
Over 4,155 people have already been tested through the existing sites that have been set up in Dalmarnock, West Pollokshields, Stewarton, Girvan, and Alloa.
