The testing centre is an appointment only walk up facility - meaning you may arrive on foot or by bike.
Please do not use public transport on your way to and from the testing centre. You must not visit any shops or other places on the way to or from your test, and if you have coronavirus symptoms, you and your whole household must self-isolate at home until you receive your test results.
To book a test, call 119 for free between 8am and 6pm or book online at gov.wales. Alternatively, you can call 0300 30 31 222, 8am-8pm Monday-Friday, and 8am-6pm on weekends.
You must make an appointment before attending the Testing Unit and you must be a resident of the Torfaen Borough - and must bring ID and proof of address to the testing centre.
