Key worker mobile testing facilities in North Yorkshire Public information issued on behalf of the Ministry of Defence and Department of Health and Social Care As part of the national roll out of the Key Worker Testing for COVID–19, a number of military run drive-through Mobile Testing Units will be operating in North Yorkshire over the next few days. These tests are available for eligible key workers who are self-isolating because they are within the first 5 days of displaying symptoms of COVID-19. The tests are also available for key workers who are self-isolating because someone else in their household is displaying symptoms.
