1000 tests done in Wirral on Monday the first day of mass testing. No appointments necessary. You just need a mobile number or email address to register when you arrive. If you use reading glasses take them with you. If you do not have a mobile number or email address you will be asked to call 119 to get your results. This mass testing is only for people showing no symptoms. If you do have symptoms then self-isolate as should others in your household, if you are concerned with your symptoms or need advice phone 111, if somebody is seriously ill (especially a child under 5) phone 999. If you need help of any sort phone 0151 666 5050 https://www.wirral.gov.uk/covid-19-testing/covid-19-tests-people-who-do-not-have-symptomsMass testing sites, all of which are open from Saturday onwards. The Floral Pavilion, New Brighton 10am to 7pm (last test at 6:30pm) 7 days a week Greasby Library 10am to 7pm (last test at 6:30pm) 7 days a week Eastham Library 10am to 7pm (last test at 6:30pm) 7 days a week Birkenhead Market 9am to 5pm (last test at 4:30pm) Monday to Saturday Closed Sunday

nearly threw up on the throat one That's what I don't like about these tests. I retch everytime I brush my tongue when doing my teeth, never mind touching my throat. Had a camera down my throat once and thought I was going to die, haha!

1,030 tests were performed on Monday.
1,994 tests were performed on Tuesday with 3 positive results.
2,083 tests were performed on Wednesday with 8 positive results.
1,931 tests were performed on Thursday with 10 positive results. I wonder if that could be something to do with the weekend and the incubation period. People mix a bit more at weekend and it takes 4 days or so to incubate ?

Some slight changes to the opening hours for test centres.
Floral Pavilion, New Brighton 10.30am–6.30pm, 7 days a week Greasby Library 10.30am–6.30pm, 7 days a week Eastham Library 10.30am–6.30pm, 7 days a week Birkenhead Market 9.30am–4.30pm, 6 days a week (closed Sundays)
There was a little misunderstanding on Tuesday the 15th leading to mass test centres closing earlier than anticipated.
In the first week (Mon 7th to Sun 13th December) we had 11,743 mass tests conducted producing 57 positive results. The busiest test centre was Greasby Library with the Floral Pavillion not far behind, followed by Eastham Library then Birkenhead Market (which had much less opening hours than the others).

People mix a bit more at weekend and it takes 4 days or so to incubate ? People are more likely to mix longer with more people at work and school. I guess Its just the type of people that wanted to be tested first that gave the increasing profile. It carried on increasing through the rest of week 1. I'm not sure how soon after infection the result would give a clear positive on these tests. its probably a pretty inexact and highly variable figure if there is an official one, I'm not going to hunt through the data sets for it.

Covid Symptom-Free testing is now by appointment only. To book a test visit https://liverpoolccg.enterpriseappointments.com/v2/#book/count/1/provider/any/For symptom free testing you probably need the last item (Wirral Lateral Flow Testing)? Personally I find this online booking system appalling and there should be a phone number to make bookings.
