Atherstone's closest lateral flow testing site will close at the end of June.

The LFT site at Water Orton Community Hall will close on June 30.

All but one of Warwickshire's testing sites will close at the end of the month. Only Nuneaton's United Reform site will remain open.

Residents can still access LFT tests from pharmacies and the government website.

All PCR test sites for those with symptoms of COVID-19 in the county will remain open.

Speaking about testingin Warwickshire, Dr Shade Agboola, director of public healthforWarwickshire said: "In line with the national government strategy for testing and the continued decline in the number of residents using the community LFT test sites, we will be changing the way in which testing is delivered in Warwickshire from the 30 June 2021.

"With access to testing much easier now, more residents are testing at home. It's great to see that the community test sites have made a difference and in total 195,000 tests have been carried out across the county to date. This has helped to build confidence around testing to the point that residents are now testing at home.

"This is a real tribute to all those working at the test sites, and I would like to personally thank them all for the work they have done to support testing over the last year to help to keep Warwickshire communities safer."
