Mobile testing moves to Maesteg

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board has confirmed that the mobile testing facility currently operating in Porthcawl is about to move to Maesteg.

The walk-in facility at the Awel-Y-Mor Community Centre (CF36 5TP) will remain available until 6pm on Thursday 8 July before moving.

On Friday 9 July, it will be based at the site of the former Revlon (Cosi) factory at Oakwood Drive in Maesteg (CF34 9TS) where it will operate as a drive-through facility between 9am-5pm.

A walk-through testing centre remains available at the Bowls Hall car park in Angel Street, Bridgend (CF31 4AH) between 2pm-8pm.

To use either of the other two sites, you must book an appointment by visiting the Welsh Government website or by calling 119. If you have hearing or speech difficulties, you can call 18001119 to arrange an appointment.

You can also collect lateral flow tests for home use from the Bowls Hall car park facility between 8am-1pm, seven days a week.

Anyone who feels generally unwell or has symptoms such as a high temperature, a new continuous cough, or a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste should arrange a test immediately and self-isolate at home.

Mobile testing forms an important part of our efforts to combat Covid-19 and these arrangements are being constantly reviewed, so look out for further announcements soon.”
