A Covid testing site in Witham will stop offering rapid tests for people as of next week.

Libraries across the county are becoming collection points for Covid-19 self-test kits.

More than 20 libraries already offer the service with 14 more library collection sites to be launched this week.

It means every district will have three sites where tests can be collected.

As a result sites which offered lateral flow, or rapid tests, will stop offering appointments and will not be open for walk-ins.

The tests were for people who did not have symptoms of Covid-19.

From next week these sites will stop offering the tests in a phased winding down, including Witham Town FC. 

The site will stop offering the tests on Tuesday April 27.

Here are the other sites and the dates when tests will cease.
