PUBLIC health leaders in York have thanked the thousands of people who have already accessed symptom-free covid tests in the city. The latest data shows that 500 secondary school pupils are amongst those who have already taken the tests, who are also attending school. The tests are one way of helping to reduce the spread of coronavirus, and they are available to anyone (living or working in York) who is unable to work from home and is still going to work. This includes staff working in education and early years, those in factories and construction and other essential sectors. Testing continues to be offered to those who support the most vulnerable in the city, to secondary school pupils who are eligible to attend school and to teachers who will be working in schools.
