But due to restrictions on them opening because of the pandemic, it means they've been forced to close for more than eight months.

New sites will open in Northallerton and Selby this weekend, to be followed "shortly" by another in Skipton, according to North Yorkshire's Local Resilience Forum.

Officials say the extra test centres are indoors and allow walk-in appointments. People don't need to arrive in a vehicle, unlike drive-through mobile testing units where testing is inside a vehicle.

“With the onset of winter, the indoor sites also offer staff a warm, dry place in which to carry out tests.”
