Cambridgeshire people urged to keep trying over covid-19 testing appointments

People are being urged to try again and not give up if they are having trouble accessing a COVID-19 test at the location and time they want in Cambridgeshire.

The National Testing Programme, which provides the COVID-19 tests for people with symptoms, is experiencing exceptionally high demand at the moment and as a result people are not always able to book a test at the time and location they wish.

Dr Liz Robin, director of public health for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, is advising people in this situation not to give up, but to wait a few hours and try again.
