Where to get a Covid test in Sheffield as Hillsborough testing centre moves to new site

The Hillsborough mobile testing centre will move to the site of the former Hazlebarrow Primary School, on Hazlebarrow Crescent, from next Monday, January 11.

There will still be six testing sites across the city, which are open seven days a week, and Sheffield’s director of public health, Greg Fell, has urged people to keep using them.

“If anyone has Covid symptoms they should book a test straight away and once they have had their test they must self-isolate until they have received their results so that they can protect those around them as much as possible,” he said.

"This means please don’t mix with anyone else other than people within your household and don’t go to work unless you work from home until you receive your test result. If you receive a positive Covid test result you will need to self-isolate for 10 days.

“As ever, I’m reminding everyone of the most important things they can do to help reduce the spread of the virus and protect themselves and others. Remember to keep two metres away from those not in your bubble, wear a mask in crowded places and public settings, wash your hands regularly, use separate towels and don’t touch your face with hands that are not clean. This will help to save lives. That’s how important it is.”

All Covid tests must be booked in advance and when people call to request a test they will be given a date and time at a testing centre close to them.
