A PILOT of Lateral Flow testing is launching in Redditch, as part of the government’s continuing drive to increase the availability of Covid-19 tests. The pilot, running at Redditch Town Hall, aims to help protect residents from Bromsgrove and Redditch, where the highest rates of coronavirus in the County have been seen. Residents from the 2 districts, who do not have any symptoms, are able to book a test at the LFT site. The testing initiative is designed to help identify people who are carrying the virus without knowing. They will then be able to self-isolate and protect their families and communities.
A PRE-CHRISTMAS spike in coronavirus cases in Bromsgrove was due to outbreaks at a prison and care homes, public health chiefs have said. Official government figures showed that on December 10, a mammoth 97 positive tests were reported in the district - almost twice the previous daily high of 58 back in November. Concerned residents contacted the Advertiser after noticing on the government website that cases had risen a scary 1000% that week in the Stoke Heath, Finstall and Bentley postcode area. Positive tests in the area increased from eight to 88 in the week between December 5 and 12, although case levels across the rest of Bromsgrove and neighbouring areas remained fairly stable.
