The UK Government testing programme in Scotland is additional capacity to supplement NHS testing which prioritises Health and Social Care staff.
New units are being brought into operation each day. There are now two in Highland, currently based in Broadford and Thurso. There is a drive though facility based in Inverness.
The self-referral and employer referral test booking routes are available for England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
