Rapid coronavirus tests are being offered to people without symptoms who need to leave home to work in Lewisham. A third rapid test centre is opening at Deptford Lounge on Monday, February 15, providing results by email or text messages within 30 minutes. Lewisham Council is urging residents who need to leave home to work, volunteer or who are unpaid carers to get tested twice a weekly to help protect those around them. Dr Catherine Mbema, Director of Public Health for Lewisham, said: “Since we introduced rapid testing in Lewisham, over seven thousand residents have received a rapid test at one of our sites.
