Mobile Testing Units for week commencing 31st May 2021

Mobile Testing Unit Haddington

In recent months, mobile COVID-19 testing units have been deployed to various locations around East Lothian. For the first time, a unit will be based and operating out of part of the John Muir House car park from Monday, 31 May. Demand for car parking in the John Muir House campus has been lower than ‘normal’

Testing will be available on both a walk-in and drive through basis. This means that some parking spaces at the western side of the car park will be coned off on a temporary basis. The one-way system will continue to be in operation.

The testing unit will be staffed by the Scottish Ambulance Service.

More information about testing in East Lothian is available on the council website
