Adults in Exmouth are being encouraged to include regular rapid lateral flow testing in their weekly routine. It's free, painless and results are back within the hour.

Devon County Council has mobile vans that move around the county offering testing to people without symptoms of COVID-19.

This service is available for anyone 18 and over who does not have access to workplace testing.

The council are offering two tests per week in line with the government recommendations, and participants can also collect packs of home testing kits from their friendly staff.

One of the community testing vans will be in Exmouth Foxholes car park on Tuesdays between 11am - 2.30pm and on Saturdays between 9am - 12.30pm.

Another van will also be at Exmouth Tesco's on Tuesdays from 3.30pm - 7pm and on Saturdays from 1.30pm - 5pm.

Lateral flow tests are only for people who do not have symptoms. Anyone displaying any of the main COVID-19 symptoms must book a PCR test at www.gov.uk.

Any changes to times or days for the testing vans will be updated on the council website: devon.cc/flow.

Case rates throughout Devon remain low, but with restrictions lifting and socialising returning, it is now recommended to take regular tests as a part of your routine to help break the chain of transmission.
