Symptom-free covid testing to launch in Swindon

By Jamie Hill - 14 February 2021

From tomorrow any early year practitioners, carers and frontline council staff will be offered symptom-free testing.

From Monday (15 Feb), Swindon Borough Council will be phasing in a symptom-free testing programme in Swindon.

Symptom-free testing will initially be offered to early year practitioners, carers and front-line council staff, with plans in place to expand the programme to more critical workers as testing capacity increases.

Symptom-free testing will help to identify eligible workers who are not displaying symptoms, in order to break chains of transmission in the community and provide further resilience to the essential services we all rely on.
