People in Wrexham urged to get tested for Covid-19 after spike in the area
Two mobile Covid-19 testing centres have been set up in Wrexham following a spike of cases in the town.
Around 400 people were tested for coronavirus at the centres on the first day they opened.
Dr Chris Johnson, from Public Health Wales, said: "The more people with symptoms who come forward, the more cases we will find. More people can then be referred into the Test, Trace, Protect programme, allowing contact tracers to take action to put a stop to the spread of coronavirus in the area."
Dr Johnson added: "We are seeing a larger number of Coronavirus cases in Wrexham than in other parts of Wales. Although we haven’t received the results from these testing sessions yet, we are reassured that there is no evidence of a rapidly escalating situation."
Nurse Lisa Bradford said some of those who were tested did not have any symptoms but were still worried they may have coronavirus.
She said: "I’d urge anyone who has symptoms of Covid-19 to take advantage of the opportunity to get tested and help prevent the potential spread of Covid-19 in the Wrexham area."
Symptoms include a new continuous cough, high temperature, losing your sense of taste or smell, or a change in your normal sense of taste or smell.
The mobile testing centres are at Caia Park Health Centre on Prince Charles Road and at Hightown Community Resource Centre on Fusilier Way.
Anyone who wants a test is being asked to arrive between 9am and 6pm.
