Theme park turns into drive-thru coronavirus testing facility

Medical staff conduct tests at an NHS drive through coronavirus disease testing facility in the car park of Chessington World of Adventures in Surrey.

The company opened facilities at its headquarters in Nottingham and at Chessington World of Adventures in Surrey to support the Government’s bid to test doctors and nurses who have been self-isolating and are unsure whether they have the virus.

Boots said locations for more test centres are still being defined around the country, but they will not be in its stores.

The sites will initially be for NHS staff by invitation only, the company said.
