Surge testing will take place in Brentwood after the South African Covid-19 variant was detected. Extra testing will be deployed to the CM13 postcode of Brentwood after one positive case of the variant was found in the area. People living within the CM13 postcode area are strongly encouraged to take a Covid-19 test when offered, whether they are showing symptoms or not. Every person aged 16 and over who lives or works in CM13 should get a Covid-19 test as soon as possible. There are different ways to get tested, and every household in the area will receive a letter this week explaining where and when they can get a test.
