BRADFORD Council community teams will be offering Covid-19 home tests in the district today.

The team, made up of both council staff and volunteers, will be knocking on doors and offering free coronavirus tests in selected areas.

The aim of the scheme is to get more people tested and to help gain a better understanding of the virus.

Council staff and volunteers will be offering home tests to people in the Bolton and Undercliffe ward today, with door-knocking also taking place in the Thornton and Allerton ward.

Staff and volunteers will be wearing a purple tabard and will have a Bradford Council ID badge.

A tweet from Bradford Council, posted this morning, explains:
