Residents from West Linton are being called on to book a Covid-19 test, even if they are not showing symptoms of the virus. NHS Borders has decided to roll out the Covid-19 community testing programme further, to include anyone living or working in West Linton and surrounding areas. It comes after a spike in cases in the region over the past weeks and evidence that it is spreading within these local communities. Residents in Hawick have also been invited to book a test. Testing for West Linton will be available over the next fortnight from the Mobile Testing Unit located at the Graham Institute on Wednesday 27 & Thursday 28 January and Tuesday 2 & Wednesday 3 February.
