    Sefton Council statement...

    Because the Government’s latest regulations say that people in England must ‘stay at home’ except for essential purposes, only key workers and those with caring commitments during the lockdown should now go for a SMART test.
    This includes people who

    • work in supermarkets or those shops that can open;
    • work in in schools or caring environments where on-site testing is not taking place;
    • are unpaid carers and volunteers;
    • are in other public-facing roles.

    Walk-through SMART COVID-19 testing for people in those groups is now taking place 9am to 6pm, no appointment necessary, at:

    • Splash World in Southport*
    • Bootle Leisure Centre
    • Aintree Racecourse

    *Please use rear car park of Dunes/Splashworld, accessible from the Esplanade, opposite the Lifeboat Station.
    Check on the live Find a Test map to see if the sites are busy and how long you might have to wait.
    Everyone else

    Everyone else should be staying at home, not mixing with others outside our household or bubble, and only going out for local exercise and to shop for essentials, which means we don’t currently need a SMART test unless there are specific circumstances.

    As at 1900 hrs Saturday 17 Jan 2021 the government site

    https://www.gov.uk/guidance/national...ional-lockdown

    "Medical reasons


    You can leave home for a medical reason, including to get a COVID-19 test, for medical appointments and for emergencies."

    Looks to me like you can leave home for a Covid test.


    It doesn't impact me because I am tested as part of the Nations Statistics survey, but others may wish to seek the reason for Sefton's decision from their elected representatives.
