A NEW pop-up testing site has been set up in Mudeford in expectation of more non-essential travel this half-term.
Mudeford Quay car park is the latest mobile testing site in the Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch area, with more expected to pop up in popular visitor destinations across Dorset during the week.
The testing sites will be in each location for one day and will carry out lateral flow tests.
Rachel Partridge, Assistant Director of Public Health for Dorset and BCP Councils said: “Around one in three people with Covid-19 don't have symptoms so with more people going out for non-essential journeys there is a higher risk of them passing the virus on to others they meet.
