COVID testing kit success to be repeated

Following the successful distribution of COVID testing kits at supermarkets last month, the Test Trace Protect team will again be distributing COVID tests at supermarkets over the next couple of weeks.

The Test Trace Protect team in Powys is made up of a partnership between Powys Teaching Health Board and Powys County Council. Last month saw over 40,000 COVID tests distributed to Powys residents at supermarkets across the county.

Next week will see the team again travelling the county to distribute testing kits to help keep us safe.

The Lateral Flow Device (LFD) kits are specifically for people with no symptoms of COVID and help to identify those people in the community who may be carrying and spreading the virus without knowing it.

Pick up your test kit with your shopping and help protect yourself and those you care for.

The team will be found at:
