Milton Keynes Council has now opened up a testing site to all local shop workers with no symptoms that is able to provide rapid results within 45 minutes.
On their official website, Milton Keynes Council posted: "Around one in three people who are infected with COVID-19 have no symptoms and could be spreading the disease without knowing it.
"To help find more of these cases so people can isolate and break the chain of transmission, we are offering free rapid COVID-19 tests to anyone who has to leave their home to work, as well as people who act as informal carers for family, friends or neighbours.
"To be tested, bring your work ID (if relevant) and a smartphone to the Central Library. No need to book. Results will be sent to you within around 45 minutes.
"The centre is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9.30am to 4.30pm, and on Tuesday and Thursday from 9.30am to 7pm."
No-one with symptoms will be tested at this site. Instead, they should use the existing free NHS testing service.
Anyone with one or more of these symptoms – a high temperature, a new, continuous cough, or a loss or change to sense of smell or taste – should book a test online by clicking here or by calling 119.
