Drive-though facility set up to test for Coronavirus in Wolverhampton
A 'drive-through' facility has been opened in Wolverhampton to test people suspected of having Coronavirus.
The pop-up facility, which has been set up on a car park to the north of the city, enables people from Wolverhampton who have been referred by NHS 11 to be swabbed for the virus.
The practice means people do not have to enter a hospital building or their local doctor's surgery where they may put others at risk.

Drivers remain in their car while they are tested by medical staff.
Swabs are collected which are then sent off for testing, with the results sent back within 48 hours.
The pop-up facility comes after a patient in Wolverhampton became the fourth Briton to die after contracting Coronavirus.
So far six people in the UK have died while almost 400 have tested positive for the virus.
