Four buses have been converted into testing units in a bid to further reduce the number of coronavirus cases in Norfolk.
Health officials believe the move will help to test those who are asymptomatic and bring the rate of infection down further in the county.
Dr Louise Smith, director of public health for Norfolk, said the coronavirus case numbers are coming down but they are plateauing and are not yet down to zero.

Audio Content Fund enters third year with £1m available
The Audio Content Fund has £1million to distribute over the next 12 months as it enters its third year of operation.
The fund, which is financed by the UK Government, has distributed £2.35m since its launch in 2019, having had its budget increased last year during the coronavirus pandemic.
The next funding round will open on 17th May, with decisions published in early August. Subsequent funding rounds will be held in September 2021 and January 2022.
Each round is expected to distribute around £330,000 to independent production companies, to make broadcast radio content which is often too expensive to produce on a commercial basis (including documentary, drama, comedy, and live music).
