New Coronavirus Mobile Testing Centre

A second coronavirus mobile testing site will be set up in Berkshire this weekend.

It will be run from the Henwick Worthy Sports Ground in Thatcham for up to three days this week – starting on Friday 8 May.

This is in addition to other local and regional coronavirus testing sites which are also available across the Thames Valley area.

The first one set up in Berkshire was run by the military for several days earlier in the week.

Anyone who is eligible and wishes to be tested at the Henwick Worthy mobile site must arrange an appointment on the government's booking site first. Tests are not available on a ‘drop-in’ basis. You can also book a test at a different site via the national website.

People being tested must bring appropriate ID (like an NHS ID card) or a letter/email from their employer to confirm their key worker status. They should approach the sports ground site as normal, and follow the signs into and out of the testing area, which will be operated by military personnel.
