Additional coronavirus tests for people in Staffordshire are being made available once more.

The test centre pilots – which are available to people in Lichfield and Burntwood – were introduced in Burton and Stafford last week.

Staffordshire County Council has confirmed that the slots will once again be available, with bookings made 24 hours in advance on a rolling basis.

Cllr Alan White, leader of Staffordshire County Council, said:

> “Together with our partners we have stepped up to offer a local solution and it is great to see pilot scheme extended yet again.  
>  
> “We want to ensure as many people as possible who need a test in the county get one and we are working with the Government to actively find ways to increase availability of testing for local people with symptoms.  
>  
> “I would also remind people that slots are very limited, so please don’t book a test unless you really need one.”  
>  
> Cllr Alan White, Staffordshire County Council

People are asked try the national system first at [www.nhs.uk/coronavirus](http://www.nhs.uk/coronavirus?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk). If there are no slots available, the Wednesday session at Burton will be available to [book](https://staffordshire.zipporah.co.uk/TrackAndTrace/?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk) from first thing tomorrow morning (29th September).

There will be 200 tests available each day, with appointments between 9.30am and 3.45pm on the days when the centres are operating.
