and live on Freeview channel 276
There are still eight coronavirus community test centres open across Derbyshire which offer regular testing for those who are most at risk of passing on the virus, such as people who are still going out to work and spending time with colleagues or the public.
While the testing sites at Shirebrook and South Normanton have now finished, a new centre is open today for members of the public who do not have coronavirus symptoms to get tested at Hillstown Village Hall in Bolsover.

Even though residents don’t need to book a test prior to arrival, people in Derbyshire are advised to only visit a centre in their local area and wear a face covering.
Community testing sites remain open at Wilmot Street Centre in Heanor, Queen’s Park Sports Centre in Chesterfield, County Hall in Matlock, West Park Leisure Centre in Long Eaton, Pavilion Gardens in Buxton, Clay Cross Social Centre and Midway Community Centre in Swadlincote.
Members of the public are unable to get tested at the Long Eaton site on March 4, 22 and 30 due to blood donor sessions.
