One in three people who have Covid-19 don't have any symptoms and Tooting residents are being urged to take part in quick coronavirus testing.

Lateral flow testing provides rapid results within around 30 minutes.

A council spokesperson said: "We are calling on all those that live or work in Wandsworth – that are symptom free - to have regular lateral flow tests, ideally twice a week."

Residents can participate in routine rapid testing by ordering home testing kits, workplace testing or booking tests from participating pharmacies.

Lateral flow tests should only be taken by people with no symptoms.

A list of pharmacies offering lateral flow testing to those that need assistance can be found here.

It is however recommended that home test kits are ordered - you can do this from the NHS website.

You can find out more about lateral flow tests on the council website.
