Two fashion brands will move into Waterstones store in Lincoln’s Cornhill Quarter later this year as the book retailer prepares to leave and focus on its High Street branch.
A Superdry franchise store will move into the ground floor of the building. Robert Goddard’s designer clothing store will open on the first floor as the retailer’s seventh location in the East of England.
Why should I get tested if I don’t have any symptoms?
We can break the chain of infection by detecting and self isolating people in the community who have COVID-19 but do not show any symptoms, which means otherwise they could go on and unknowingly infect others unless isolating.

You do not need to book an appointment to get an asymptomatic test at any of the four centres. You can just turn up between 8am and 8pm, Monday to Sunday.
Upon arrival, staff will double-check with you if you have any COVID symptoms, such as fever, persistent cough, or loss of smell and/or taste.
