More Coronavirus test confusion as Scottish postcode gets you Twickenham test
By The Editor 5th Nov 2021
Getting a Covid-19 test can be a difficult process.
Earlier this month we brought you the news that people from the Teddington area were being sent to Peterborough and even the Isle of Wight for a test.
This is despite the fact there is a test centre in nearby Twickenham.
Fresh concerns emerged over the weekend that the best way to get a test in Twickenham is to say you live in Scotland.
Twickenham and Teddington MP Munira Wilson tweeted:
"I have now been told by two constituents that to get a coronavirus test at the #Twickenham testing site, you need to put in a Scottish postcode. HOW is this happening? Lives and livelihoods are on the line. Forget world-beating, we need a functional #TestandTrace system NOW!"
The Liberal Democrat Health and Social Care spokesperson has question the government's claim that the system is 'world-beating.'
The government have said that people should be directed to their nearest testing centre.
