ENHANCED testing will be rolled-out in Farnworth, Plodder Lane and Great Lever from this weekend to combat rising infection rates in the borough. Alongside the ongoing vaccination drive, enhanced testing is an essential part of the strategy to bring local rates under control. It requires everyone living, working or studying in a specific area, who does not already have symptoms, to take a Covid-19 test. Successful programmes have already focussed on Deane, Rumworth, Halliwell and Central Bolton. Teams will be out on Saturday delivering information leaflets on vaccination second doses, testing and self-isolation to households in Farnworth, Plodder Lane and Great Lever.
