Revised opening times will be in operation at the city's rapid Covid-19 test centres over the Easter weekend.

Anyone without symptoms of coronavirus is invited to get a rapid test without an appointment and will get their results in around an hour.

Opening times over the Easter weekend are as follows:

  • The Civic Centre, St Peter's Square, Good Friday 10am to 4pm, Easter Saturday 10am to 6pm, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday site closed
  • The Jamia Masjid Bilal, Newhampton Road West, 10am to 7pm each day

  • St Joseph’s Church, Willenhall Road, site closed each day.

Meanwhile, the rapid test site at Bilston Community Centre closes for the final time tomorrow (Thursday 1 April).

Please note, rapid testing is not available to people who have been told to self isolate by NHS Test and Trace, or to anyone with symptoms of Covid-19, including a fever, a new continuous cough or a change to the sense of taste or smell. 

People with symptoms should immediately self isolate and book a PCR test by visiting GOV.UK or calling 119.

Latest figures show there were 63.7 new cases of Covid-19 per 100,000 people in Wolverhampton over the 7 days to 28 March. That means 168 people in the city tested positive for the virus in that 7 day period – though the true number of new cases will likely be higher.
