Coronavirus testing centre set up in Horsham town centre

The town’s MP Jeremy Quin confirmed on Facebook the unit was set up at Park House, North Street until 3.30pm yesterday, Monday May 25.

He said: “While established to cater for those who have booked in advance for a Covid Test the team has plenty of spare kits and is happy to undertake tests for anyone wanting one.

“In the MOD I have been hearing a great deal about these MTUs [mobile testing units]- both in their creation and now deployed.

“The team on duty are local reservists from the PWRR and we are all grateful for their invaluable work and commitment.”
