A new pop-up community testing site for people without Covid-19 symptoms opened in Levenmouth on Friday.
Community testing sites, including the latest one at the Savoy Centre in Methil, provide testing for members of the public who have no symptoms associated with coronavirus but who could be infectious and spreading the virus to others unknowingly.
The centres also provide confidential support to assist anyone who tests positive and needs to self-isolate, with access to different financial support alongside practical measures, such as food packages.

The facility at the Chapel Neighbourhood Centre is in addition to the one at the Glebe Centre.
A centre is also open at the Maxwell Centre in Cowdenbeath.
The centres offer testing for members of the public who have no symptoms but could be infectious. It also provides support to anyone who tests positive, with access to different financial support alongside practical measures, such as food packages.
Josie Murray, NHS Fife consultant in public health and health protection clinical lead, said: We’re basing the locations of our community testing sites on the latest data we have, allowing us to focus on targeted local areas which would benefit most from having access to testing for short periods of time.
