Coronavirus mutations are placing immense pressure on the UK healthcare system and economy as hospitals face a shortage of beds and lockdown restrictions cannot be eased until scientists are confident the mutations are under control. The Kent variant has been spreading rapidly across the UK since December and now it has the South Africa variant to contend with. The transmissibility of these variants is inevitably driving up the ratio of symptomatic cases across the country.
Residents urged to take Covid-19 test if concerned about any possible symptoms PUBLIC health leaders in Warrington are urging residents to get a coronavirus test if they are at all concerned about possible symptoms – even if they are not the main ones. Alongside the three main symptoms of a high temperature, persistent cough and a loss of smell or taste, some people may experience other symptoms that may turn out to be coronavirus. The list of other symptoms you could experience includes aches and pains, a sore throat, diarrhoea, conjunctivitis, headaches, a loss of taste or smell, a rash on skin or discolouration of fingers or toes.
Everything you need to know about getting a coronavirus test in Warrington AS the risk of contracting coronavirus remains high, a number of testing options are available to Warrington residents. Testing is vital in discovering whether you are carrying the virus without knowing it and preventing it from being transmitted to other people. Those who test positive must self-isolate by law.
Should I get tested if I do not have any symptoms? Asymptomatic testing sites at the Halliwell Jones Stadium and Grappenhall Cricket Club are available for people who cannot work from home and have no coronavirus symptoms. You do not need to book in advance to visit either rapid asymptomatic community testing sites.
The Covid-19 testing centre at the Halliwell Jones Stadium THE South Stand of the Halliwell Jones Stadium has been converted into a coronavirus testing centre. And the Warrington Guardian paid a visit to the new-look home of the Warrington Wolves on Tuesday in order to get tested. There were no queues at the entrance at the Jack Fish Corner upon arrival, although around 20 to 30 residents were waiting in line in the concourse underneath the East Stand. After entry, it took around half an hour to get to the front of the queue – which ran roughly the width of the rugby pitch.
