Around 6,100 people living and working in the parishes of Diss and Roydon have now participated in targeted surge testing. Norfolk Public Health and South Norfolk Council have applauded the efforts of local people and remain keen to remind anyone who has collected a home test kit since Friday to complete their test and return it as soon as possible. They urged anyone who had not yet booked a test to do so this week.
