The MTU will be on site tomorrow 25 August at Rothesay Leisure Centre, 96 High Street, Rothesay, PA20 9BN between the hours of 11:00 and 15:30. Testing is available through appointment only but everyone, whether you have symptoms or not, can be tested here given the community outbreak.

When booking you should select the option ‘I have been asked to book a test by my local council or health protection team’ which will allow you to book a test even if you don’t have symptoms.
