A third testing site is set to open this week in Enfield, allowing people to book appointments in advance to get fast and critical swab tests for COVID-19.
Raynham Road Car Park in Edmonton, N18 2SJ, will be converted into a testing site, with a soft launch starting on Wednesday 9 September. It is expected to provide more than 360 tests per day.
