LTSs are semi-permanent structures and this will remain on site for long periods to improve access for Torfaen residents. It will be open seven days a week from 8am to 8pm, and will be operated by the Department of Health and Social Care using self-swab PCR tests. The leader of Torfaen Council, Cllr Anthony Hunt, said: “The longer opening hours of this LTS will give residents improved opportunity to book a test quickly and efficiently. An LTS is a designed as a walk through facility but residents can drive to the site and there is ample parking. We will continue to use the mobile testing units where we see spikes in the community but the LTS gives our area greater certainty of long term access to testing facilities.
