This was the scene at Eastham Library this afternoon, as queue for symptom-free Covid-19 tests snaked all away around the building. Photo: Richard Garnett Wirral s symptom-free Covid-19 testing sites have been closed temporarily this afternoon due to unprecedented demand. People already in the queues will be seen but Wirral Council has instructed sites not to let anyone else queue for a test until further notice. Director of Public Health for Wirral Julie Webster said: “Unfortunately, we have had to take the difficult decision to close the queues early at our symptom-free testing centres in Wirral today. Our sites have experienced incredible demand for symptom-free testing this week and we are now seeing many people from outside of the area coming to Wirral to access the testing centres.

Van Roo said Friday the 115th Fighter Wing has temporarily suspended its regular flying operations.
The crash was reported at about 8 p.m. Tuesday and emergency responders did not locate Jones body until Thursday.
At the press conference Friday, Van Roo declined to provide any details on the crash or what preceded it, citing an open investigation. He also declined to say whether Jones ejected himself from the aircraft prior to the crash.
It may take more than a year to determine the cause of the crash, Van Roo said.
In 1995, a similar jet from Madison crashed on a wooded hilltop after its engine failed and the pilot safely ejected.
