Free lateral tests available in town if you're eligible

Newtown residents eligible for free lateral flow tests can still access them at the town's library.

The kits can be collected from the library if they fit the following  criteria:
 
a doctor or specialist has said you're eligible for new COVID-19 treatments https://gov.wales/covid-19-treatments
you are going to visit someone eligible for new COVID-19 treatments
your GP or healthcare professional asks you to take a test
you have COVID-19 and want to check if your test result is still positive after day 5 – family/friends should collect on your behalf.

A Powys County Council spokesperson said: "Residents suffering from any COVID-19 symptoms should not visit a library to collect kits and can instead access kits either online https://www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus-rapid-lateral-flow-tests or by calling 119."
