All covid testing sites in Cornwall are set to close this week.
The government is ending free covid testing from April 1st - meaning testing sites will be closed from this date.
There are currently local walk-in sites at Wellington Terrace Falmouth, Heartlands Car Park Redruth, and Mount Wise Newquay.
The closure comes around the same time covid cases have hit an all-time high in Cornwall.
On Tuesday, March 22nd cases hit the record high of 1,322 per 100,000 a rate which also makes Cornwall the second-highest area for cases in England.
"Covid hasn't gone away. Keep taking precautions to keep our communities safe," Cornwall Council added.
