More businesses and organisations are being offered community testing.

Any business or organisation that employ fewer than 250 people - including those who are self-employed - who can't work from home and are open under current guidelines can register their interest in community testing.

A site has been set up at Dorchester Rugby Club to offer Lateral flow testing.

More than 560 businesses and organisations in Dorset have registered and their employees are now having up to two tests a week in line with government guidelines.

Employees of businesses and organisations in Dorchester signed up to the Dorset Rapid Community Testing Programme can book up to two tests a week until the end of June at the site at Dorchester Rugby Club.

Councillor Laura Miller, Dorset Council's portfolio holder for adult social care and health, said: "The more businesses and organisations who commit to regular, weekly testing for their employees are not only showing their commitment to keeping their employees safe, but also help stop the spread of transmission in their communities.

"The quicker we can identify Covid-19 cases, the quicker those people can self-isolate and help break the transmission of the virus."

Businesses and organisations can register their interest here.
