Mererid Bowley , Interim Director of Public Health, said:
“Our temporary testing centres will now be open until the 15th September, allowing us to test more symptomatic people in Caerphilly borough - these testing centres will help us learn more the rate of infection in Caerphilly and will help us keep Gwent safe.
You can help us reduce the spread of the virus. Maintain social distancing, wash your hands often, wear a face covering when it’s hard to social distance, get a test if you have symptoms and self-isolate if you’re asked to by a contact tracer.”
