A new coronavirus testing site has opened at Loughborough University.

The walk-in centre at Shirley Pearce Square has been open since Friday. It is only available to those who have Covid-19 symptoms.

It is "easily accessible without a car", the Department of Health and Social Care said.

It comes after cases in the Charnwood area rose significantly over the past few weeks.

The borough was recently moved into tier two restrictions prior to the announcement of national lockdown restrictions.

"We're just living day-to-day with it."
