We visited a coronavirus test centre - here's how it works

There are six testing sites across Sheffield, including Meadowhall.

Other locations include the former Hazlebarrow Primary School site; Shipton Street Car Park, Upperthorpe; Gower Street Car Park, Burngreave; Station Road Car Park, Darnall and the Alderson Road Car Park in Sharrow.

The Meadowhall testing centre was forced to close its doors last month due to flooding fears on the nearby River Don.
