Covid testing facilities will be closing for the general public at the end of the month across England.
Testing in Kirklees will end on 30 March and this will include our mobile test and collect service. The mobile testing unit at Wards Hill car park in Batley is now closed.
The mobile test and collect team will be handing out testing kits until 30 March, this week’s timetable below.
Further details about testing at high-risk settings and the future of home testing will be provided by the government, and we will update our website when we know more.
