It was announced previously that Kidderminster Library will take over from Wyre Forest House, the home of Wyre Forest District Council, as the new site for rapid Covid testing from Tuesday. The government announced last month that residents who have regular contact with children will be able to test themselves for coronavirus twice a week at home.
MALVERN Library is set to become the latest Rapid Covid Testing site to be opened in Worcestershire. People living or working in the Malvern Hills area who don’t have any symptoms, will be able to book a free rapid Covid test, at Malvern Library, Graham Road, Malvern WR14 2HU between 10.30am and 4.30pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, and between 10.30am and 3.30pm on Saturday. Testing will be available for people with no symptoms aged 18 and over at Malvern Library from Friday March 12. The aim of this testing is to help drive down transmission. One in three people who are infected with Covid-19 have no symptoms, so could be spreading the disease without knowing it.

Worcestershire County Councillor Tony Miller who lives in Fernhill Heath said: The first day the site opened, there were problems. It was swamped, we had lots of people turning up without appointments, but the team handled it very well. By Sunday it was much better, it all happened so quickly there were bound to be some problems. Now, people are contacting me telling me how
