A new Covid-19 rapid testing centre targeting people who unwittingly have the virus is to open in Bury St Edmunds.
It will begin operating at West Suffolk College s University Studies building on Western Way from Monday, February 1.
The centres use lateral flow testing to identify people who may have coronavirus but are asymptomatic – crucial in arresting the spread of the virus.
Employers are also being urged to book their staff in for testing.
